Everything went as you expected. No errors except that I don't have Fortran compilers so checking OMPI_WANT_F77_BINDINGS and OMPI_WANT_F90_BINDINGS threw some error messages.
One more question - in which project out of the 16 do I include code that I want to run? -- Vimal From: users-boun...@open-mpi.org [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Damien Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 5:38 PM To: Open MPI Users Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Building MPI on Windows Vimal, Here's how to build OpenMPI with Visual Studio and CMake. These are exact steps. 1) Download this: http://www.open-mpi.org/software/ompi/v1.6/downloads/openmpi-1.6.tar.gz 2) Extract that to somewhere on your hard drive. My path was C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6. I renamed it to C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6-64. You can use 7-Zip to extract tgz archives on Windows. 3) Start the CMake GUI. Set the source and build directories. Mine were C:/projects6/openmpi-1.6-64 and C:/projects6/openmpi-1.6-64/build 4) Press Configure. Say Yes if it asks you to create the build directory. 5) Look at the generator view that comes up. I chose Visual Studio 9 2008 Win64 but you can select whatever you have on your system. Click Specify Native Compilers. This will make sure you get the right compilers. In the C and C++ compiler, I put "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\amd64\cl.exe". You can navigate to which one you have. In the Fortran compiler, I put "C:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE 2011 SP1/bin/intel64/ifort.exe". You can navigate to which one you have. Press Finish once you have selected the compilers and the config will start. Takes a couple of minutes on my laptop. First things first. If you want a Release build, you have to change a CMake setting. The 5th line down in the red window will say CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE. Change the text (type it in) to say Release if you want a Release build, otherwise the final install step won't work. Also, further down the red window there's some options you should change. Scroll down through that window, there's a lot to choose from. I usually check OMPI_RELEASE_BUILD, OMPI_WANT_F77_BINDINGS and OMPI_WANT_F90_BINDINGS. OMPI_WANT_CXX_BINDINGS should already be checked. (Note to Jeff & Shiqing: We should probably work out a good set of standard choices if there are others on top of these). 6) Press Configure again, and CMake will go through identifying the Fortran compiler if you asked for Fortran bindings and a few other things. It should work fine with the options above. 7) Assuming that it was fine, press Generate. That produces an OpenMPI.sln project for Visual Studio, it's in whatever directory you specified as your build directory. 8) Open the sln in Visual Studio. Open the Properties of "Solution 'OpenMPI'". Look at Configuration Properties - Configuration. Check the Configuration button at the top, it might say Debug, but it should say Release if you changed CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE earlier. If it says Debug, change the drop-down to Release. Click OK. Then open the Properties again and make sure what you selected is right, otherwise change it, press OK again. Visual Studio does that sometimes. 9) Moment of Truth. Right-click on "Solution 'OpenMPI'" and select Build Solution. The compile should start. 10) Wait. 11) Wait some more. 12) Grab a snack (or a beer.....), this will take a while, 15-20 minutes. 13) If the build was successful (it should be), there's one last step. Right-click on the INSTALL sub-project and click Build. That will organise the header files, libraries and binaries into a set of directories, under whatever directory you said your source is in with CMake. On mine it was C:\projects6\openmpi-1.6\installed. In there you'll see bin, include, lib and share directories. That's a complete OpenMPI build with everything you need. If you'd like to try this and provide feedback, we can tweak the instructions until they're bulletproof. I can help you build with whatever compilers you have on your system, just post back to the list. I don't do Cygwin though. Doing HPC on Windows is weird enough..... :-) Damien On 13/06/2012 1:35 PM, vimalmat...@eaton.com wrote: What do I do after I run it? -- Vimal From: users-boun...@open-mpi.org [mailto:users-boun...@open-mpi.org] On Behalf Of Ralph Castain Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 3:32 PM To: Open MPI Users Subject: Re: [OMPI users] Building MPI on Windows I'm not a Windozer, so I can't speak to the port for that platform. However, the conversation here seems strange to me. Have you actually read the instructions on the open-mpi.org web site? Looks pretty simple to me. You download the .exe installer for either 32 or 64 bits, and run it. You don't build OMPI from source - the distro contains everything you need to just run.

Eclipse IDE offers a very nice plugin for developing and debugging MPI code named Parallel Tools Platform. Something not available in Visual Studio, except for similar one made by Intel, but I believe you have to use their compiler. You could always run Eclipse remotely from any Windows OS using a Secure Shell client and Xming (A Windows based X Server). That is what I do, and no more wasting time trying to get OMPI trying to run on Windows.

You would only need to compile it in CygWin just like the Linux/Unix docs say to do. I don't know if anyone else has done it this way or not.

Or you may also ask in their mailing list. Another solution might use the full path for the executables, like "c:\Program Files\OpenMPI_v1.6-win32\bin\mpicc hello.c" or under Cygwin: "/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/OpenMPI_v1.6-win32/bin/mpicc.exe hello.c".
