I use a separate Makefile for MPI targets. The Makefile.am starts with
CC = $(MPICC)
CXX = $(MPICXX)
F77 = $(MPIF77)
FC = $(MPIFC)
LIBS += $(MPILIBS)
where the MPI* variables are set by calls to AX_MPI
(http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_mpi.html). However,
this approach assumes that you use $CC etc. for compiling and linking.
For me, this approach works just fine. However, you need to put the MPI
Makefile.am into a separate directory as, afaik, there can be only one
Makefile.am per directory. But you need not to move your sources, though.
Best regards,
Christian
