Hi, I know that you don't try to port Open Mpi to Cygwin at the moment but perhaps you can give me a hint how to proceed. I tried to build openmpi-1.5.1rc1 on Cygwin 1.5.25 with gcc-4 with the following options.
../openmpi-1.5.1rc1r24104/configure --prefix=/usr/local/openmpi-1.5.1-gcc-4 CC=gcc-4 CPP=cpp-4 CXX=g++-4 CXXCPP=cpp-4 F77=gfortran-4 FC=gfortran-4 CFLAGS=-m32 CXXFLAGS=-m32 FFLAGS=-m32 FCFLAGS=-m32 CXXLDFLAGS=-m32 LDFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS= C_INCL_PATH= C_INCLUDE_PATH= CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH= OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH= MPIHOME= --without-udapl --without-openib --without-cs-fs --enable-mpi-f90 --with-mpi-f90-size=small --enable-heterogeneous --enable-cxx-exceptions --enable-shared --enable-orterun-prefix-by-default --with-threads=posix --enable-mpi-threads --disable-progress-threads --disable-vt "--disable-vt" was necessary to avoid some errors. I got the following output in config.log. ## --------- ## ## Platform. ## ## --------- ## hostname = eiger uname -m = i686 uname -r = 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) uname -s = CYGWIN_NT-5.1 uname -v = 2008-06-12 19:34 /usr/bin/uname -p = unknown /bin/uname -X = unknown /bin/arch = i686 /usr/bin/arch -k = unknown /usr/convex/getsysinfo = unknown /usr/bin/hostinfo = unknown /bin/machine = unknown /usr/bin/oslevel = unknown /bin/universe = unknown ... My configure-log-file contains the following two lines: checking for architecture... i686 configure: WARNING: Unknown architecture ... proceeding anyway In my opinion all other warnings in that file are unimportant because I get them on Solaris and Linux as well.

Are they necessary for Cygwin or is it only windows stuff? How can I avoid the windows-subtree in Cygwin if it is not necessary? Thank you very much for any help in advance. Kind regards Siegmar
