It looks like https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/29043 is a stopgap, but it is still definitely wrong.
The MPIT stuff does *not* compile the same way the C bindings compile. Here's how the C bindings compile: a) in ompi/mpi/c/profile: always compile libmpi_c_pmpi.la b) in ompi/mpi/c: 1. always compile libmpi_c.la (a small number of stub functions and global variables) 2. only compile libmpi_c_mpi.la if weak symbols are not supported (e.g., OSX) Then libmpi.la always contains a) and b1). If b2) exists, it is also slurped into libmpi.la. MPIT is currently compiled as: a) in ompi/mpi/tool/profile: always compile libmpi_pmpit.la b) in ompi/mpi/tool: always compile libmpi_mpit.la It really needs to be done the same way the C bindings are done -- split b) into the global constants that you always need and always compile that, and then optionally compile the rest if weak symbols are not supported. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
