OpenMPI version: 1.3.3 & 1.4.3
Platform: IBM P5
Issue: I want OpenMPI to support some existing 64-bit FORTRAN software, but I
can't seem to get 64-bit objects from OpenMPI without some modification to the
Makefile in ompi/mpi/f90.
I can configure, build, and install just fine with the following compilers:
- CC = xlC_r
- CXX = xlC_r
- F77 = xlf95_r
- FC = xlf95_r
But, this configuration produces 32-bit objects for all languages.
So, to produce 64-bit objects for all languages, I supply the following flags:
- CFLAGS = -q64
- CXXFLAGS = -q64
- FFLAGS = -q64
- FCFLAGS = -q64
This configuration results in the following error during the build (more
specifically, link) phase:
- When creating libmpi_f90.la in ompi/mpi/f90
- COMMANDS:

The -q64 option, while valid for the xlf95_r compiler, is not a valid option
for /usr/bin/ld. So, I'm wondering why this option got passed to /usr/bin/ld.
After looking at <topdir>/ompi/mpi/f90/Makefile, I see that FCFLAGS shows up in
link lines ("libmpi_f90_la_LINK" and "FCLINK"). This direction seems to come
from Makefile.in.
If I remove these FCFLAGS references from the Makefile, I am able to complete
the build and install of OpenMPI, and it seems to correctly support my existing
software.
So, now for my question:
Should FCFLAGS show up on these links lines and, if so, how would I get 64-bit
objects?
Thanks,
Brian Price
