Dear all, instead of maintaining these scripts, maybe it is possible to have some build-mode of Open MPI which only builds these tools? AFAIR, all information for the opal-wrapper are in these .txt files. I.e., nothing inside the binary. So one could build Open MPI twice. First with the cross-compiler and install it. Then a second time building only the opal-wrapper and such binaries with the host compiler and install it over the previous installation, which replaces only the binaries, not the .txt files.
Maybe this is even possible today, excluding the convenient second "installation" step? Best, Bert On 24.03.22 17:04, Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) via devel wrote:

I agree that this is in the "nice to have" category, but it is costing Brian time -- if no one is using this functionality, it's not worth the time.

I have been working on fixing a number of static library compile issues caused by us historically not having been great about tracking library dependencies and the OMPI/PMIx/PRRTE split. Part of this is some fairly significant modifications to the wrapper compilers (here's the PMIx version: https://github.com/openpmix/openpmix/commit/e15de4b52f2d331297bbca31beb54b5a377557bc). It would be easiest to just remove the script based wrapper compilers, but I'll update them if someone uses them. Thanks, Brian
