Hi, see if this macro solves your problem: http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/acx_mpi.html
it requires some improvement, but might be a start. Since I only have OpenMPI I use it in the following way(it's not pretty): configure.ac: (...) dnl Check for MPI dnl This check will set the MPICC and MPICXX variables to the MPI compiler ones dnl if the library is found, or to the regular compilers if not. AC_ARG_WITH(mpi, [AC_HELP_STRING([--with-mpi], [enable MPI support [default=yes]])], [case "${withval}" in yes|no) with_mpi=$withval;; *) AC_MSG_ERROR(bad value ${withval} for --with-mpi);; esac], [with_mpi=yes]) if test "x$with_mpi" = "xyes"; then ACX_MPI([], [AC_MSG_ERROR(could not find mpi library for --with-mpi)]) AC_DEFINE(HAVE_MPI) MPI_CXXLIBS=`mpicxx --showme:link` MPI_CXXFLAGS=`mpicxx --showme:compile` AC_SUBST(MPI_CXXLIBS) AC_SUBST(MPI_CXXFLAGS) else MPICC="$CC" MPICXX="$CXX" AC_SUBST(MPICC) AC_SUBST(MPICXX) fi AM_CONDITIONAL([WE_HAVE_MPI],[test "x$with_mpi" = "xyes"]) (...) Makefile.am: (...) # MPI headers/libraries: INCLUDES+=$(MPI_CXXFLAGS) OTHERLIBS+=$(MPI_CXXLIBS) etc I would start by improving the mentioned macro with specific support for each MPI implementation...
