Hi Charlie,

Actually, to compile and link your application with Open MPI on Windows is similar as on Linux. You have to link your application against the generated Open MPI libraries, e.g. libopen-mpi.lib (don't forget the suffix 'd' if you build debug version of the OMPI libraries, e.g. libopen-mpid.lib).

But according to the information you provided, I assume that you only added the search path into the project, that's not enough, you should probably add the library names into "Project Property Pages" -> "Configuration Properties" -> Linker -> Input -> "Additional Dependencies", normally only libopen-mpi.lib (or libopen-mpid.lib) would be enough, so that Visual Studio will know which libraries to link to.

Besides, the Open MPI compiler wrappers should also work on Windows, in this case you just need to open a "Visual Studio command prompt" with the Open MPI path env added (e.g. "set PATH=c:\Program Files\OpenMPI_v1.4\bin;%PATH%"), and simply run command like:

   > mpicc app.c

and

  > mpirun -np 2 app.exe


Please note that, before executing the application, Open MPI has to be installed somewhere either by build the "INSTALL" project or by running the generated installer, so that the correct Open MPI folder structure could be created.


Regards,
Shiqing

OK, so I'm a little farther on and perplexed.
As I said, Visual C++ 2005 (release 8.0.50727.867) build of OpenMPI 1.4, using CMake 2.6.4, built everything and it all linked. Went ahead and built the PACKAGE item in the OpenMPI.sln project, which made a zip file and an installer (although it was not obvious where to look for this , what its name was, etc., I figured it out by dates on files). Another thing that''s not obvious, is how to shoehorn your code into a VCC project that will successfully build. I created a project from existing files in a place where the include on the mpi.h would be found and examples, etc. did compile. However, they did not find any of the library routines. Link errors. So, I added in the generated libraries location into the search locations for libraries. No good. So, I added all of the generated libraries into the VCC project I created. No good. How does one do this (aside from rigging up something through CMake, cygwin, minGW, or MS SFU)? Charlie ...

    Hi Charlie,

    Glad to hear that you compiled it successfully.

    The error you got with 1.3.4 is a bug that the CMake script didn't
    set
    the SVN information correctly, and it has been fixed in 1.4 and later.


    Thanks,
    Shiqing
