This question seems so simple - and yet i ask: I tried following all the steps in the manual:
1) svn co http://svn.open-mpi.org/svn/ompi/trunk ompi 2) <changed some source code in ompi/mca/btl > * 3) ./autogen.sh ; ./configure --prefix <some folder> 4) make all install what do I get? The following compilation error: ... make[2]: Leaving directory `somewhere/ompi/ompi/datatype' Making all in debuggers make[2]: Entering directory `/a/mosna/vol/vol0/aa/alexam02/ompi/ompi/debuggers' /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../opal/include -I../../orte/include -I../../ompi/include -I../../opal/mca/paffinity/linux/plpa/src/libplpa -I../.. -g -Wall -Wundef -Wno-long-long -Wsign-compare -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wcomment -pedantic -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -finline-functions -fno-strict-aliasing -pthread -g -MT libompitv_la-ompi_dll.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libompitv_la-ompi_dll.Tpo -c -o libompitv_la-ompi_dll.lo `test -f 'ompi_dll.c' || echo './'`ompi_dll.c mkdir .libs gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../opal/include -I../../orte/include -I../../ompi/include -I../../opal/mca/paffinity/linux/plpa/src/libplpa -I../.. -g -Wall -Wundef -Wno-long-long -Wsign-compare -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wcomment -pedantic -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -finline-functions -fno-strict-aliasing -pthread -g -MT libompitv_la-ompi_dll.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libompitv_la-ompi_dll.Tpo -c ompi_dll.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libompitv_la-ompi_dll.o ompi_dll.c:102: error: initializer element is not constant make[2]: *** [libompitv_la-ompi_dll.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `somewhere/ompi/ompi/debuggers' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/a/mosna/vol/vol0/aa/alexam02/ompi/ompi' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 -Is there a problem with the specific checkout? -How can i solve/work around the problem? (tried removing deguggers directory - error in autogen.sh) * The i tried again without the modification and it still did the same error.
