Hi,

I have trouble building an OpenMPI environment on Windows 7 -64bit for use by 
simulation software written for Linux-environment, please help.

I use a single workstation with two processors (sums up to 12 cores). The 
HP-MPI environment is already present for some other software (installed from 
binaries).

I have installed MinGW/MSYS with GCC compiler suite, and the simulation 
software is compiled and runs in serial mode ok. I have also tried to compile 
the F77 source code of the simulation software in Windows (using Silverfrost 
FTN95 or Microsoft Visualstudio trial version), but there was a lot of 
compilation errors, despite 'standard Fortran F77'. It is not my code - I'm 
only a user - so I must stick to the GNU compilers.

I have tried to install the Windows binary of OpenMPI 1.5.4 (64bit) which 
installs ok. The compilation of the simulation software failed since the 
compiler wrappers assumed the Intel fortran compiler and its format of options, 
plus 'libraries not found'.

Now, OpenMPI version 1.5.5 is downloaded and unpacked to directory 
c:\openmpi-1.5.5\ and I run the configure script inside a MinGW-shell from 
directory c:\OpenMPI\ where I want to build.

The 'configure' part seems to run ok, but error is encountered in the 'Compiler 
and preprocessor tests' part,
the last lines are:
checking size of char... 1
checking size of short... 2
checking size of int... 4
checking size of long... 4
checking size of long long... 8
checking size of float... 4
checking size of double... 8
checking size of long double... 12
checking size of float _Complex... 8
checking size of double _Complex... configure: error: in `/c/openmpi':
configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (double _Complex)
See `config.log' for more details

The config.log file,
the last lines are:
#define SIZEOF_CHAR 1
#define SIZEOF_SHORT 2
#define SIZEOF_INT 4
#define SIZEOF_LONG 4
#define SIZEOF_LONG_LONG 8
#define SIZEOF_FLOAT 4
#define SIZEOF_DOUBLE 8
#define SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE 12
#define SIZEOF_FLOAT__COMPLEX 8

configure: exit 77

The configure screen output (file configure.output) and the log file 
(config.log) are attached in file config.output.tar.bz2.

Previous attempts to install OpenMPI include:
Using CMake version 2.8, OpenMPI version 1.4.4, using the GCC compilers > lots 
of errors
Using CMake version 2.8, OpenMPI version 1.4.4, using VisualStudio2010 (trial 
version) solution files > lots of errors
OpenMPI version 1.4.4, running configure script inside MinGW shell, followed by 
make all and make install > failed during make install step. Possibly some 
errors during configure which I didn't understand.

kind regards

Kjell-Arne
