Hi list, I searched the archives, but didn't turn anything up...
I have a new machine which I've installed windows 8 x64 + MSVC 2012 (MSVC 11) and have compiled openmpi from the git svn clone(on branch origin/v1.6) using these settings ... cmake -DOMPI_ENABLE_THREAD_MULTIPLE=true -DOPAL_ENABLE_MULTI_THREADS=true -DOMPI_WANT_CXX_BINDINGS=false -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=/MP -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=/MP -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="%MPI_DIR%" D:\Code\ompi-svn-mirror -DCMAKE_GENERATOR="Visual Studio 11 Win64" The compilation succeeds, but when I run my app, I see that THREADS_MULTIPLE is not set. So I tried running ompi_info and I see that it outputs the following (at bottom of post), but locks up. The stack trace when it locks up is as follows... libmpid.dll!opal_atomic_cmpset_ptr(volatile void * addr, void * oldval, void * newval) Line 198 C++ libmpid.dll!opal_atomic_lifo_push(opal_atomic_lifo_t * lifo, opal_list_item_t * item) Line 77 C++ libmpid.dll!ompi_free_list_grow(ompi_free_list_t * flist, unsigned __int64 num_elements) Line 237 C++ libmpid.dll!ompi_rb_tree_init(ompi_rb_tree_t * tree, int (void *, void *) * comp) Line 77 C++ libmpid.dll!mca_mpool_base_tree_init() Line 88 C++ libmpid.dll!mca_mpool_base_open() Line 86 C++ ompi_info.exe!ompi_info_open_components() Line 515 C++ ompi_info.exe!main(int argc, char * * argv) Line 285 C ompi_info.exe!__tmainCRTStartup() Line 536 C ompi_info.exe!mainCRTStartup() Line 377 C kernel32.dll!000007feac87167e() Unknown ntdll.dll!000007feae4cc3f1() Unknown My question is : has anyone tested msvc 12 and openmpi and can they recommend a source version I can use to compile and enable threads. If this combination of compilers etc is not yet supported, how can I help fix this. The fact that ompi_info reports "Thread support: no" indicates to me that either the cmake config is failing, or I've messed up with options. I tried the v1.7 branch, but the cmake support appears flaky. I'm willing to either fix the 1.7 cmake or the 1.6 thread lock, if necessary, but I don't want to waste my time if it isn't going to work within a reasonable amount of debugging. I welcome any advice on how to get this compiling and working and offer cmake related help if you need it to work on this platform. NB. I think I said my program runs, but actually, with threads enabled it bombs out during MPI_Init_thread(&argc, &argv, MPI_THREAD_MULTIPLE, &provided); - it runs without threads, but I need them.
