Using the OPEN_MPI #define is probably the safest bet to identify the

against Open MPI (because we can/have changed the flags behind the
scenes).
I think one of the possible solutions would be, in the next MPI
standard (will it come very soon?, or not?),
I would like to hope that MPI 2.1 comes out someday in the not-
distant future, but I'm guessing that it'll take quite a while.
specify the library (libraries) for mixed language linking.
MPI has traditionally shied away from specifying this kind of thing,
instead leaving it to be an implementation-specific detail.
it is a quite of headache for each compiler/platform to deal with
mixed language
issues. I have to compile my application on IBM visual age compiler,
Pathscale, Cray X1E compiler,
intel/openmpi, intel/mpich, PGI compiler ...
And of course, openmpi 1.1 is different on this comparing with
openmpi 1.2.2 (-lmpi_f77 is new to 1.2.2 version). :-)
You are right. MPI forum most like will not take care of this. I just
made a wish ... :-)
What, exactly, do you need to do? Do you need to link an application
that uses all 4 of the MPI language bindings?
Anthony Chan's macro works fine to identify the openmpi (Thanks a
lot!). After that I use mpif90 -showme:link to find out the flags and
put them into LDFLAGS in my application. -- That is all I needed.
Thanks.
