All, There is a new implementation of the FindMPI module in next. There are a number of changes in this version, and it did not quite make it into 2.8.4 because it needs more testing. If you are interested in this and can kick the tires, please try it out and send feedback to me.
There motivation for the new version was that the existing FindMPI does not support multiple languages properly. It assumes you want either C++ or C, and it doesn't care which you get. There is also no good way to do MPI for fortran -- the compilers are not detected. The new interface replaces these variables: MPI_FOUND MPI_COMPILER MPI_LIBRARY MPI_COMPILE_FLAGS MPI_INCLUDE_PATH MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY MPI_LINK_FLAGS MPI_LIBRARIES With these: MPI_<lang>_FOUND TRUE if FindMPI found MPI flags for <lang> MPI_<lang>_COMPILER MPI Compiler wrapper for <lang> MPI_<lang>_COMPILE_FLAGS Compilation flags for MPI programs MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH Include path(s) for MPI header MPI_<lang>_LINK_FLAGS Linking flags for MPI programs MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES All libraries to link MPI programs against for each <lang> in (CXX, C, Fortran). The old variables will continue to work; they are set to the MPI_CXX_ equivalent if it is available, and the MPI_C_ version if it is not. However, there are some backward compatibility concerns. In particular, you need to set either MPI_<lang>_COMPILER or MPI_<lang>_INCLUDE_PATH and MPI_<lang>_LIBRARIES to override autodetection. In the old FindMPI, you would have set either MPI_COMPILER, MPI_INCLUDE_PATH, MPI_LIBRARY, and possibly MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY to do the same. Right now, the old variables don't serve as hints to the new detection mechanism, so you may need to reconfigure your -D arguments to CMake for new projects. Again, the old variables continue to be *set* in the new version, but they are no longer used as input to the module. Finally, there are a few other improvements. This FindMPI will search for more compiler names, and it will attempt to match the MPI compiler to the ID of the CXX, C, or Fortran compiler. This version also searches a few more paths for Windows, and should properly detect MPICH2 on Windows. Please test this as much as possible so that hopefully this or some improved version can go into 2.8.5 in April. You can either try the version in CMake next, or the attached FindMPI.cmake. -Todd
