Hi, We are trying to build 'hwloc 1.4.2' on Linux on System Z. To build hwloc, need to perform the following steps: - ./configure - gmake all install
We are getting error while performing first step i.e. running configure script. error message is : configure: error: No atomic primitives available for s390x-ibm-linux-gnu If we investigate configure script, we got to know that it deals with some assembly related operations in this part. And, switch-case does not cover Linux on System z architecture (s390/s390x), hence it throws error and exits. If we exclude this part (i.e. commented exit part only), configure gets executed till end and Makefile gets generated. Questions: We have following questions related to this: 1. Is 'hwloc' supported on Linux on system z? 2. What exactly this assembly part is used for? 3. What functionality will get affected if we exclude this part? Please assist us. Thanks & Regards, Shikha Maheshwari
