Hi Damien,
Thanks for the detailed instructions!
Here's my progress:
1) Download this:
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.tar.gz
<http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.tar.gz
>
Done
2) Extract that to somewhere on your hard drive. My path was
C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6. I renamed it to C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6-64.
You can use 7-Zip to extract tgz archives on Windows.
Extracted to C:\OMPI\openmpi-1.6
3) Start the CMake GUI. Set the source and build directories. Mine
were C:/projects6/openmpi-1.6-64 and C:/projects6/openmpi-1.6-64/build
Does it matter where I run CMake from? I've put Cmake-2.8.8-win32-x86 in
C:\OMPI\openmpi-1.6
4) Press Configure. Say Yes if it asks you to create the build
directory.
Done
5) Look at the generator view that comes up. I chose Visual Studio 9
2008 Win64 but you can select whatever you have on your system. Click
Specify Native Compilers. This will make sure you get the right
compilers.
I chose Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64.
In the C and C++ compiler, I put "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe". You can navigate to which one
you have.
I have "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0/VC/bin/cl.exe"
In the Fortran compiler, I put "C:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE
2011 SP1/bin/intel64/ifort.exe". You can navigate to which one you
have.
I do not have a Fortran compiler
Press Finish once you have selected the compilers and the config will
start. Takes a couple of minutes on my laptop.
I get an error message saying: Error in configuration process. Project
files may be invalid
I've attached the text that the CMake GUI generated for the error.

Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Building MPI on Windows
Vimal,
Here's how to build OpenMPI with Visual Studio and CMake. These are
exact steps.
1) Download this:
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.tar.gz
2) Extract that to somewhere on your hard drive. My path was
C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6. I renamed it to C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6-64.
You can use 7-Zip to extract tgz archives on Windows.
3) Start the CMake GUI. Set the source and build directories. Mine
were C:/projects6/openmpi-1.6-64 and C:/projects6/openmpi-1.6-64/build
4) Press Configure. Say Yes if it asks you to create the build
directory.
5) Look at the generator view that comes up. I chose Visual Studio 9
2008 Win64 but you can select whatever you have on your system. Click
Specify Native Compilers. This will make sure you get the right
compilers.
In the C and C++ compiler, I put "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe". You can navigate to which one
you have.
In the Fortran compiler, I put "C:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE
2011 SP1/bin/intel64/ifort.exe". You can navigate to which one you
have.
Press Finish once you have selected the compilers and the config will
start. Takes a couple of minutes on my laptop.
First things first. If you want a Release build, you have to change a
CMake setting. The 5th line down in the red window will say
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE. Change the text (type it in) to say Release if you
want a Release build, otherwise the final install step won't work.
Also, further down the red window there's some options you should
change. Scroll down through that window, there's a lot to choose from.
I usually check OMPI_RELEASE_BUILD, OMPI_WANT_F77_BINDINGS and
OMPI_WANT_F90_BINDINGS. OMPI_WANT_CXX_BINDINGS should already be
checked. (Note to Jeff & Shiqing: We should probably work out a good
set of standard choices if there are others on top of these).
6) Press Configure again, and CMake will go through identifying the
Fortran compiler if you asked for Fortran bindings and a few other
things. It should work fine with the options above.
7) Assuming that it was fine, press Generate. That produces an
OpenMPI.sln project for Visual Studio, it's in whatever directory you
specified as your build directory.
8) Open the sln in Visual Studio. Open the Properties of "Solution
'OpenMPI'". Look at Configuration Properties - Configuration. Check
the Configuration button at the top, it might say Debug, but it should
say Release if you changed CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE earlier. If it says Debug,
change the drop-down to Release. Click OK. Then open the Properties
again and make sure what you selected is right, otherwise change it,
press OK again. Visual Studio does that sometimes.
9) Moment of Truth. Right-click on "Solution 'OpenMPI'" and select
Build Solution. The compile should start.
10) Wait.
11) Wait some more.
12) Grab a snack (or a beer.....), this will take a while, 15-20
minutes.
13) If the build was successful (it should be), there's one last step.
Right-click on the INSTALL sub-project and click Build. That will
organise the header files, libraries and binaries into a set of
directories, under whatever directory you said your source is in with
CMake. On mine it was C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6\installed. In there
you'll see bin, include, lib and share directories. That's a complete
OpenMPI build with everything you need.
If you'd like to try this and provide feedback, we can tweak the
instructions until they're bulletproof. I can help you build with
whatever compilers you have on your system, just post back to the list.
I don't do Cygwin though. Doing HPC on Windows is weird enough.....
:-)

I'm not a Windozer, so I can't speak to the port for that platform.
However, the conversation here seems strange to me. Have you actually
read the instructions on the open-mpi.org web site?
Looks pretty simple to me. You download the .exe installer for either 32
or 64 bits, and run it. You don't build OMPI from source - the distro
contains everything you need to just run.
See:
http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/
for the software and some Windows notes.

You could always run Eclipse remotely from any Windows OS using a Secure
Shell client and Xming (A Windows based X Server). That is what I do,
and no more wasting time trying to get OMPI trying to run on Windows.

This may, or may not be helpful, but I have tried the Windows offerings.
I have never gotten anything to function was expected. Compiling, or the
available binaries. I think they just don't work at all.
My suggestion which I feel would be easier, and less headache way would
be to install something like CygWin, which would give you a Unix/Linux
like environment running under Windows.
You would only need to compile it in CygWin just like the Linux/Unix
docs say to do.
I don't know if anyone else has done it this way or not.

Hi,
I'm trying to follow the ReadMe file to build OpenMPI on Windows:
Step 1: Untar the contrib/platform/win32/ompi-static.tgz tarball in the
root directory of the Open MPI distribution.
I do not have ompi-static.tgz in the mentioned path.
Step 2: Go in the ompi/datatype subdirectory in the Open MPI
distribution and copy the following:
datatype_pack.c to datatype_pack_checksum.c
datatype_unpack.c to datatype_unpack_checksum.c
I do not see these files in the mentioned path.
Step 4: Open the Open MPI project (.sln file) from the root directory of
the distribution.
I don't have a .sln file anywhere
Help anyone? Shiqing?

I ran ./configure and make all install.

Hi Vimal,
I'm not sure how you can uninstall the other one, may be 'make
uninstall' from the source? Or you may also ask in their mailing list.
Another solution might use the full path for the executables, like
"c:\Program Files\OpenMPI_v1.6-win32\bin\mpicc hello.c" or under Cygwin:
"/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/OpenMPI_v1.6-win32/bin/mpicc.exe hello.c".
Of course, I suggest to get rid of the other MPI implementation.

Hi Vimal,
The output looks strange. If you use the installer under Cygwin, mpicc
shouldn't try to link with liblammpio.* or any library in
/usr/local/lib. So I guess the mpicc is messed up with some previously
installed MPI implementations. Could you please verify that 'which
mpicc' is the one you installed?
Anyway, here I sent some screen shots that how it should look like under
Cygwin.
1 - run command 'mpicc chello.c'
2 - run command 'mpicc chello.c -o chello'

Shiqing

It does not look like you successfully built Open MPI -- it
looks like
Open MPI's configure script aborted because your Fortran
compiler
wasn't
behaving:
-----
checking if Fortran 77 compiler supports COMPLEX*16... yes
checking
size of Fortran 77 COMPLEX*16... 16 checking alignment of
Fortran
COMPLEX*16... 8 checking if Fortran 77 compiler supports
COMPLEX*32...
no checking for max Fortran MPI handle index... ( 0x7fffffff <
2147483647 ? 0x7fffffff : 2147483647 ) checking Fortran value
for
.TRUE.
logical type... configure: error: Could not determine value of
Fortran
.TRUE.. Aborting.
-----
Anything that happened after that is somewhat irrelevant because
Open
MPI didn't configure properly.
Looking in config.log, I see why:
-----
configure:44290: checking Fortran value for .TRUE. logical type
configure:44386: gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O2 -finline-functions
-fno-strict-aliasing -I. -c conftest.c
configure:44393: $? = 0
configure:44403: gfortran -o conftest conftest.o conftestf.f

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
final link failed: Device or resource busy
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:44410: $? = 1
configure:44427: error: Could not determine value of Fortran
.TRUE..
Aborting.
-----
All this may be irrelevant, though, because it looks like you're
building on Windows.
In that case, you might well want to just download the OMPI
Windows
binaries. I don't know offhand if we support building on
Windows with
the normal configure / make methodology; we normally use cmake
to
build from source on Windows.
