Dears,
my turn to ask a stupid question:
I am trying to install gmx402 on a IBM pSeries 575
CPUs: dual core IBM Power6
when running the command:
./configure --enable-mpi --prefix==/home/XXXXX/gmx402/
I run very into the error:
.....
.....
checking size of int... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (int)
See config.log for more details.
config.log did not help much.
Is this a known issue? I had never seen it.
Yep there's at least one known cause. By default, configure assumes that
you are building on the same architecture on which your target will run.
So when testing for machine properties it can use either successful
compilation or successful execution. However in a cross-compilation
environment, the latter will fail.
There are several work-arounds. There's a tool called yodconfigure that
I understand takes care of much of such issues, but I'm not sure how. Or
you can trick configure into running code on the target machine somehow
- this is tricky with GROMACS, because in src/gmxlib/nonbonded/nb_kernel
you need to make and run on the build machine to create the generic
kernels. Or you can tell configure you are cross-compiling with the
--build and --host flag, so that it uses only successful compilation as
a diagnostic tool.
I'm surprised that lack of mpicc caused such a problem and didn't cause
a problem when testing mpicc.
