Hanspeter,
   I've updated the openmpi packaging in the 10.7 tree to build the
newer 1.8.1 openmpi release using the system c/c++ compilers for 10.7/10.8
as was already being done on 10.9. I've added the following change to the
boost1.55.info packaging in the 10.7 tree to adjust for this change.

This rationalizes the linkages on 10.7/10.8 to use the proper system

to worry about linking in multiple libstdc++ libraries and any
incompatibilities that would cause.
Jack
ps I also took the opportunity to bump the openmpi package to use the
latest gcc49-compiler package hence the same change in boost1.55.info.

 Jack,

 I'm currently traveling and unable to test any issues until Wednesday at
 the earliest, but more likely not until the weekend.  I'm OK with the 
 10.9 conditional you put in to build with clang++ on 10.9 (plus the atomic
 patch).  I'll be back towards the middle/end of the week to further
 discuss as needed.  If you feel more changes are needed, please discuss on
 here or on #fink with dmacks since he'll understand issues that may arise
 from the package management end.  Thanks for your help,

Re: [Fink-devel] boost1.55.info thinko

2014-04-26 Thread Jack Howarth
Hanspeter,
   Just to clarify things, the history of openmpi is as follows.
Originally when I picked up the package it was designed to use only
the fortran compiler from the gcc4x-compiler packages and the system gcc
and cc compilers were used for c and c++ code. I got
a number of user requests to switch the c and c+ compilers to those in the
gcc4x-compiler package as well. That change became
much more problematic with the switch of the system c++ library from the
libstdc++ ABI to the libc++ ABI in 10.9 hence the
switch back to the system compilers for mpicc and mpicxx. While this lost
us the option of simultaneously enabling openmp
(which is different) in the code, that limitation should disappear in a
future clang release once Apple has fully merged the donated
Intel openmp code base into llvm.
Jack
ps In the past, I wan't that concerned about the use of the gcc4x-compiler
c/c++ compilers in openmpi as code that used it tended
to not have many or any c++ support libraries to worry about so that the
compiles where pretty self contained. The boost situation
is quite different. There are a lot of complex builds that use boost which
would require swaths of the fink package set to be rebuilt
against g++-fsf-4.8 for properly standardized linkage on the same libstdc++
throughout. Also, it is a corner case that users would
really want to run their application with openmpi. Especially with boost
which already approaches that problem via threading.
Enabling openmpi support in boost doesn't make much sense for a single
workstation and only becomes sensible if the user
is running the program across a number of different workstations via
openmpi so it only makes sense as a boost-openmpi variant.
  Considering that Apple may remove their ancient gas assembler,
essential for the FSF gcc compilers to function, in some
future Xcode release, we should attempt to avoid unnecessary usage of the
gcc4x packages unless they are essential. This
will limit the carnage that will ensue when Apple depreciates gas (as they
still haven't made any commitment to providing
a stand alone replacement based on the integrated assembler from clang).
  When Mavericks support in fink was being developed, I initially
proposed adding a check for this mixing of incompatible
c++ libraries but never pushed it as every case that I looked at failed to
link due to the incompatible symbols in the libstdc++
and libc++.

 Hanspeter,
  Okay, I see now that you are trying to leverage the openmpi support
 in boost. This creates two different problems.

 1) On 10.8 and earlier, openmpi uses the gcc-fsf-4.8 and g++-fsf-4.8
 compilers so you would need to compile boost against that compiler.
 However this will mean that when you link other c++ programs and c++
 support libraries against boost1.55 on 10.8 or earlier,
 it will be mixing two different libstdc++ releases. The c++ program and
 support libraries will be linked against the system libstdc++
 (which is from gcc 4.2.1) and boost1.55 will be linked against the newer
 libstdc++ from gcc48. This might work but isn't really
 a good idea in general.

 2) On 10.9 and later, the openmpi compiler wrappers call the clang and
 clang++ compilers for c and c++ code and the gfortran-fsf-4.8
 compiler for fortran code. So your packaging is broken on 10.9 in that it
 breaks the expected compiler usage for openmpi and prevents
 the c++ code from being generated to use libc++. The libc++ and libstdc++
 ABIs are incompatible and never should be mixed.

 On 10.9, you at least want to create a 10.9 variant for boost1.55 which
 removes the usage of gcc-fsf-4.8 and g++-fsf-4.8 and restores
 the usage of the clang and clang++ compilers via the compiler wrappers.

 On reflection, I also don't think you want the stock boost1.55 to build
 against openmpi in any case. There should be a boost1.55-openmpi
 variant to do that. It really doesn't make sense to build the library as
 openmpi code unless you intend to force all the packages that use
 boost1.55 to be built with mpicc. mpicxx and mpif90.
 Jack
 ps Also are you sure you didn't enable openmpi in boost1.55 simply because
 you were confusing it with openmp? The openmp support
 is much more transparent and doesn't require the resulting executables to
 be executed through utility programs ala mdrun like openmpi.

Hanspeter,
  I would also point out that the reason that the boost1.xx releases
prior to boost1.53 don't exist on 10.9 is that
boost1.53 was the first release sufficiently patched for libc++ to properly
build against the new default c++ library
on 10.9. If you had problems building boost1.55 against the newer Xcode
5.1, there are patches back ported from
upstream to fix that…

The new revision uses the same atomics patch as MacPorts to fix a

 I am still concerned about how we are building boost1.55 on 10.8 and

the resulting builds should be tested with a test suite or manual run to
insure that this mixing of the FSF libstdc++ from gcc48
and the much older system libstdc++ doesn't cause weird run time issues.
This is one reason I was happy to switch openmpi
on 10.9 to use clang/clang++. If this mixing of the two different libstdc++
releases does in fact destabilize the resulting code,
I am open to upgrading and revamping the openmpi in 10.8 and earlier so
that it is on the current upstream release (1.8.1) and
builds with the system c/c++ compilers (i.e. uses the system libstdc++).
  Jack
ps While the gcc48-compiler dependency in the info file appears at first
unnecessary for 10.9, it is actually a non-issue since the
openmpi dependency drags that in anyway on 10.9.
pps I suspect we ought to revision bump any packages which have been
recently converted from boost1.53 to boost1.55 to
insure that the files are relinked against the new shared libs that use the
correct libc++ ABI on 10.9.

as follows. On a build with 'fink -m -kK', execute…

Re: [Fink-devel] boost1.55.info thinko

2014-04-26 Thread Jack Howarth
Hanspeter,
No problem. On 10.8 and earlier, there isn't a completely painless
option. Mixing the two different libstdc++'s
by linkage into the same program can be a tricky proposition, but reverting
openmpi to build against the system libstdc++
will also break existing binaries. However, since I had been putting off
upgrading the openmpi in 10.8 and earlier
(as the ABI was broken between the 1.6.x and 1.7.x releases), we could
accept that pain for the benefit of getting
current with the openmpi code base in 10.8 and earlier. Also, packages that
use openmpi are a special case
anyway as we periodically switch the gcc4x used by the openmpi package to a
later release. I've leaned against
creating -gcc4x variants for the openmpi package in order to drive us to
the latest gcc4x release and limit the
number of different gcc4x packages that have to be installed on any one
machine. Macports takes the opposite
approach and creates a truly insane number of openmpi package variants.
 The main reason folks wanted to use the gcc4x compilers for mpicc
and mpicxx was to obtain openmp
support. There was a very early openmp support in gcc-4.2.1 but it wasn't
very robust or complete…

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9084123/fftw3-configure-issue-for-openmp-use

In the past, the openmpi package wasn't used to build support libraries so
using the gcc4x compilers in
openmpi was acceptable as long as the package using openmpi was prepared to
build its c++ completely
with the g++-fsf-4.x compiler. So you gained robust and modern openmp
support in openmpi but you
boxed yourself in a corner such that any code using openmpi had to be
sandboxed such that it built
entirely with the gcc4x compilers.
  Jack
ps Fortunately there are very few fink packages that use openmpi so
switching back to using the
system compilers for mpicc/mpicxx will only require a few fink packages to
get a versioned
openmpi dependency and associated revision bump to force their rebuilds.

  you require any program that links against boost1.55 and all of its
  support
  libraries to be built with g++-fsf-4.8. We were very careful when
  Mavericks
  landed to make sure that boost1.53 properly built against libc++ from
  clang++ rather than any of the libstdc++ releases (system or fsf gcc).
  This
  seems like a major regression in the packaging compared to boost1.53. I
 am
  surprised you resorted to that as the newer boost release should have
 even
  more libc++ related fixes than 1.53 did.

 Jack,

 I'm currently traveling and unable to test any issues until Wednesday at
 the earliest, but more likely not until the weekend.  I'm OK with the 
 10.9 conditional you put in to build with clang++ on 10.9 (plus the atomic
 patch).  I'll be back towards the middle/end of the week to further
 discuss as needed.  If you feel more changes are needed, please discuss on
 here or on #fink with dmacks since he'll understand issues that may arise
 from the package management end.  Thanks for your help,

 Hanspeter
