Hi Olaf, thank you very much for your efforts. I pushed the macros AX_PROG_{CC,FC,F77,CXX}_MPI that were attached to your e-mail to the Autoconf Archive in this commit: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf-archive.git/commit/?id=0f83111d8fd1f2be6603780f4da0114711ee51b6 I made a few cosme

Hi all again! After the discussion on the mailing list and the subsequent modifications I did to the AX_PROG_{CC,FC,F77,CXX}_MPI macros, I want to suggest that these new macros should be included into the autoconf macro archive. You can pull the new macros and the modifications to the documentati

2011-05-24 Thread Olaf Lenz
Hi all! We are using the GNU autotools and MPI in a number of our projects, and we found that the AX_MPI macro from the autoconf macro archive has a few shortcomings. The problem is that AX_MPI starts to do anything only after the standard C compiler has been found via AC_PROG_CC. If you want to
