The problem of detecting MS Windows with autoconf is much deeper than not having a macro for it. You simply cannot run autoconf on MS Windows, as it requires other tools that are not available on Windows, so there is no macro to detect it. Or are you talking of Cygwin? Olaf -- Dr. rer. nat.

from the one used for non-MPI files, as the compiler options used by Automake will be generated for the non-MPI compiler and might not work on the MPI-compiler. For example, on an IBM machine, this would cause trouble: configure CXX=g++ MPICXX=xlc_r Olaf -- Dr. rer. nat. Olaf Lenz Institut für C

Autoconf MPI macros

2011-05-24 Thread Olaf Lenz
ly, the MPI macro uses the standard macro AC_PROG_CC to find the compiler, and directly sets CC to a working MPI version. I propose to include these macros into the autoconf macro archive, and to extend the docs of AX_MPI to point to these macros. Greetings Olaf -- Dr. rer. nat. Olaf Lenz Institut
