Open MPI uses GNU Libtool to build itself. I suspect that perhaps
Libtool doesn't know the Right Mojo to understand the Lahey compilers,
and that's why you're seeing this issue. As such, it might well be
that your workaround is the best one.
Ralf -- we build the OMPI 1.2 series with that same "late beta"
Libtool (2.1a) that we have forever. Do you recall offhand if Libtool
2.x before 2.2 supported the Lahey fortran compilers?

I am trying to build OpenMPI-1.2.6 with Lahey Fortran,
and I am running into problems. The issue is buliding
shared libraries with Lahey. Lahey can do it, but they
don't use the construct -fPIC to specify it. They
use --shared.
If I don't include anything, then the build fails near
the end when linking with a Fortran object with an
error message like:
/usr/bin/ld: testcode.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local
symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with
-fPIC
If I add --shared to FCFLAGS, the configure process will not finish
(configure line below). It crashes because when it tries to build
a small test program, it will seg fault.
# ./configure FCFLAGS=--shared CC=gcc CXX=g++ F77=lf95 FC=lf95
F90=lf95 --prefix=/opt/openmpi/1.2.6-lahey-8.00a --without-
gridengine --enable-io-romio --with-io-romio-flags=--with-file-
sys=nfs+ufs --with-openib=/opt/hjet/ofed/1.3.1
Relevant config.log output:
configure:36725: checking if Fortran compiler works
configure:36781: lf95 -o conftest --shared conftest.f >&5
Encountered 0 errors, 0 warnings in file conftest.f.
configure:36784: $? = 0
configure:36790: ./conftest
./configure: line 36791: 29048 Segmentation fault ./conftest
$ac_exeext
configure:36793: $? = 139
configure: program exited with status 139
configure: failed program was:
| program main
|
| end
So my hack to fix this was to add --shared to the
FCFLAGS in ompi/mpi/f90/Makefile and build the
code.
What is the correct way for the configure process
to know that if the compiler is lf95, to use
--shared when compiling objects?
Thanks,
Craig
