You don't really want to run a parallel make on a distributed set of computers
using MPI.
There is a Distributed Make for fast parallel building of large projects, but
they analyse the Makefile and distribute directories to be compiled
concurrently.
Your standard "make" doesn't do that, so You'd run in all kinds of troubles
(e.g. each make writes the same output object files on Your NFS-shared
directory to name the least).
If, however, Your MPI-parallel Program (featuring at least an MPI_Init and
MPI_Finalize) is not running, then we have a case...
(hint: You must be able to at least log in to Your node (ssh or rsh), without
having to enter the password).
With best regards,
Rainer
