I have tried 8 non-mainstream test platforms, using their "/usr/bin/gcc"
compilers:
MacOS 10.3 (Panther) on PPC:
gcc (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)
MacOS 10.4 (Tiger) on PPC:
powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc.
build 5341)
MacOS 10.5 (Leopard) on PPC:
powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5488)
FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE on amd64:
gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719 [FreeBSD]
FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE on amd64:
gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719 [FreeBSD]
FreeBSD-6.3-RELEASE on amd64:
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 [FreeBSD] 20060305
NetBSD-5.1 on amd64:
gcc (GCC) 4.1.3 20080704 prerelease (NetBSD nb2 20081120)
OpenBSD-5.0 on amd64:
gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070719
On all but two I was able to configure w/ only a --prefix option, and
then "make", "make install" and "make check" w/o errors (where "gmake"
replaces "make" on the BSD hosts).
On OpenBSD I had to configure with --disable-io-romio, because the build
failed otherwise.
The errors are the same as I experienced with an older OpenBSD-4.6 on
ompi-1.4.3rc1:
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/devel/2010/08/8338.php
On MacOS 10.3 (Panther) I experienced the following failure at "make" time:
libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../opal/util
-I../../opal/include -I../../orte/include -I../../ompi/include
-I../../opal/mca/paffinity/linux/plpa/src/libplpa -I../../.. -I../..
-I../../../opal/include -I../../../orte/include
-I../../../ompi/include -D_REENTRANT -O3 -DNDEBUG -finline-functions
-fno-strict-aliasing -MT path.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/path.Tpo -c
../../../opal/util/path.c -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/path.o
../../../opal/util/path.c: In function `opal_path_nfs':
../../../opal/util/path.c:508: error: `MFSTYPENAMELEN' undeclared
(first use in this function)
../../../opal/util/path.c:508: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once
../../../opal/util/path.c:508: error: for each function it appears in.)
Which is from the following in opal/util/path.c:
#elif (defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__))
for (i = 0; i < FS_TYPES_NUM; i++)
if (0 == strncasecmp (fs_types[i].f_fsname, buf.f_fstypename,
MFSTYPENAMELEN))
goto found;
On this system, it appears that MFSNAMELEN is the proper length (as w/
FreeBSD):
$ man statfs | grep NAMELEN
#define MFSNAMELEN 15 /* length of fs type name, not inc. nul */
#define MNAMELEN 90 /* length of buffer for returned name */
char f_fstypename[MFSNAMELEN]; /* fs type name */
char f_mntonname[MNAMELEN]; /* directory on which
mounted */
char f_mntfromname[MNAMELEN]; /* mounted file system */
$ grep -rl MFSNAMELEN /usr/include/
/usr/include/sys/mount.h
By editing opal/util/path.c to make that change, I was STILL able to
complete the "make", reaching the following error linking ompi_info:
/bin/sh ../../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -O3 -DNDEBUG
-finline-functions -export-dynamic -o ompi_info components.o
ompi_info.o output.o param.o version.o ../../../ompi/libmpi.la
libtool: link: g++ -O3 -DNDEBUG -finline-functions -o .libs/ompi_info
components.o ompi_info.o output.o param.o version.o -Wl,-bind_at_load
../../../ompi/.libs/libmpi.dylib

ld: Undefined symbols:

Clearly -lpthread is needed "somewhere", but I didn't pursue this
platform any deeper.
In the unlikely event anybody wants to follow up on either failure, let
me know.
There were a fair number of warnings at build time on several of the builds.
I will report any that I find alarming IF/when I've had a chance to pick
through them.
Note that I've not *run* any MPI applications yet.

Gearing up for a pre-Christmas release -- please test! There have only been a
few bug fixes since 1.4.4. See
http://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/branches/v1.4/NEWS for details.
(note that we'll likely have a 1.5.5rc1 shortly, too)
