I checked the thread with the same title as this e-mail and tried compiling openmpi-1.1b4r10418 with:
./configure CFLAGS="-mv8plus" CXXFLAGS="-mv8plus" FFLAGS="-mv8plus" FCFLAGS="-mv8plus" --prefix=$HOME/openmpi-SUN-`uname -r` --enable-pretty-print-stacktrace but I keep getting: *** Assembler checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/ccs/bin/nm -p checking for fgrep... fgrep checking whether to enable smp locks... yes checking directive for setting text section... .text checking directive for exporting symbols... .globl checking for objdump... no checking if .note.GNU-stack is needed... no checking suffix for labels... : checking prefix for global symbol labels... checking prefix for lsym labels... .L checking prefix for function in .type... # checking if .size is needed... yes checking if .align directive takes logarithmic value... no checking if have Sparc v8+/v9 support... no configure: WARNING: Sparc v8 target is not supported in this release of Open MPI. configure: WARNING: You must specify the target architecture v8plus configure: WARNING: (cc: -xarch=v8plus, gcc: -mv8plus) for CFLAGS, CCXXFLAGS, configure: WARNING: FFLAGS, and FCFLAGS to compile Open MPI in32 bit mode on configure: WARNING: Sparc processors configure: error: Can not continue. Is Sparc support put aside for the moment or am-I doing something wrong? Thanks, -- Eric Thibodeau Neural Bucket Solutions Inc. T. (514) 736-1436 C. (514) 710-0517
