I would say trying put Cygwin on the computer.
http://www.cygwin.com/ It puts a Linux like environment on Windows which includes gcc and g++. Since you are setting up virtual clusters, why not just go ahead and setup a virtual Linux cluster and be on to other things than trying to get it compile on Windows? In many distros, Open MPI is already included in their standard repository so you would not even need to compile it.

The log and the picture are attached just as last time. Any new ideas?

For the problem you got, the reason is that you are using MinGW, but not Microsoft C/C++ compiler. Is that possible for you to just switch to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 2008? There are still many problems for supporting MinGW at moment.

I am also attaching a picture of the of the main area. My main purpose of installing OpenMPI is to set up a set of "virtual cluster" on the Windows 7 machine, so I could get accustomed with the different settings, and so I could try some small programs, before being allowed to work on the actual cluster. Note, this is the first time I am using a mailing list, so if I am not allowed attachments, please tell me. I tried to keep them as small as possible.

The other building procedures are not well supported for some time now, and they are deprecated. For the problems that you got when building with CMake, it might because some dependent headers/libraries are not installed. Could you please provide the detail CMake error output, so that I can help you fix it?

Anyway, I am working at a research lab as a High School Summer Intern, and part of my project involves installing OpenMPI on a Windows machine to run some applications in virtual clusters. I tried following the first two methods from the Windows ReadMe file, but none of them work. For the first one, there are a bunch of header files cMake can't find. For the second one, the cannot find the ompi-static.tgz tarball. The set of files that I downloaded from OpenMPI can be found here (tried both tars): http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.4/ . I noticed however that the ompi-static tarball can be found in the Subversion that i obtained this way:http://www.open-mpi.org/svn/mercurial.php . Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? Or maybe more detailed steps? it's the first time I work with OpenMPI or any similar technologies.
