From the SPOOLES documentation: The SPOOLES library operates in serial, multithreaded and MPI environments. The code for these three environments is fairly segregated. The MPI directory contains all source and driver code for MPI programs. The MT directory contains all source and driver code for multithreaded programs. All other directories contain serial code.2 The MPI source code is compiled into a spoolesMPI.a library. The multithreaded source code is compiled into a spoolesMT.a library. The serial code is compiled into a spooles.a library.
I would like to offer the user the option of MT or MPI. The build phase would look something like this: if defined(WITH_MPI) cd ${WRKSRC}/MPI/src ; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} -f makeGlobalLib cd ${WRKSRC}_SHARED/MPI/src; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} -f makeGlobalLib cd ${WRKSRC}_SHARED ; ld -Bshareable -o libspooles.so.1 -x -soname libspooles.so.1 --whole-archive spooles.a else cd ${WRKSRC}; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} global -f makefile cd ${WRKSRC}/MT/src; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} -f makeGlobalLib cd ${WRKSRC}_SHARED; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} global -f makefile) cd ${WRKSRC}_SHARED/MT/src; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${MAKE_CMD} -f makeGlobalLib cd ${WRKSRC}_SHARED ; ld -Bshareable -o libspooles.so.1 -x -soname libspooles.so.1 --whole-archive spooles.a endif There’s probably an easy way to do this using the MPI portgroup. Can you suggest some ports to look at as an example? Mark Brethen mark.bret...@gmail.com
