Re: [OMPI devel] [RFC] change wrapper compilers from binaries to shell scripts

[George Bosilca]

I know that [with few exception] nobody cares about our Windows support, but we finally have a working Open MPI software stack there and this approach will definitively break our "Unix like" friendliness on Windows.

  Thanks,

As a temporary solution and until we can figure out how many people use mpicc (and friends) on Windows, I suggest we keep around the old wrapper compilers, together with the new shell scripts.

Why: Our build environment assumes that wrapper compilers will use the same binary format that the Open MPI libraries do. In cross-compile environment, the MPI wrapper compilers will run on the front-end and need to run on the front-end, and not the back-end. Jeff has suggested this as the simplest
