Hi all, I’m still trying to get my head around how I can use the Intel compilers with MPI. Maybe this isn’t an issue now that I’m at EB 2.6.0.
In brief, it seems that whatever I do the compilers being used are mpicc and mpif90. I understand that this uses the GCC compilers even though the Intel toolchain has been requested. The program I’m trying to build (CPMD), unfortunately, incorporates the value of the CC environment variable and so on into a Makefile. This means that if these environment variables are reset between the configure and make operations, the changes aren’t reflected in the build step. This brings me to the second problem. I’m trying to find all the places where CC and so on are explicitly set, so they can be commented out if need be (thus forcing the use of the environment value of CC). But the build directory is deleted at the end of the build. I’ve tried the --cleanup-builddir option, and this doesn’t prevent the deletion, and --cleanup-builddir=false gives me a rather terse warning about how --cleanup-builddir doesn’t take options. How can I keep the build dir for investigative purposes? “cleanupoldbuild” in the easyconfig doesn’t seem quite right as this seems related to previous builds, but maybe I’m missing something here. Cheers, Ben
