  • Next message: Paul H. Hargrove: "Re: UPC on Windows"
    Paul,
     
    Thank you very much for such a quick response.
     
    1. I was able to run up to line 4 (out of 5 commands)
     
    2. ../berkeley_upc-2.10.0/configure --prefix=/cygdrive/d/upc 
    MPIRUN_CMD='mpiexec -n %N %C' --enable-mpi
    The problem is here: 
     
    
    checking for /usr/bin/env… /usr/bin/env
    checking for dig… no
    checking for nslookup… /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/nslookup
    checking for gmake… no
    checking for make… no
    configure: error: cannot find GNU make
    Failed during dbg configure, exit=1
     
    2A: Where can I get GNU make? After getting it, where can I install it?
    Is it necessary to provide path in the environmental variable to make
    use of GNU make?
     
    2B: After installation of GNU make, should I need to run only the fifth
    line, i.e., 
     
    ../berkeley_upc-2.10.0/configure --prefix=/cygdrive/d/upc 
    MPIRUN_CMD='mpiexec -n %N %C' --enable-mpi
     
    3. You have mentioned in your e-mail that "If that all works, then
    "make" and "make install" are the next to 
    commands to run".
     
    3A: Will you please give me an example for it?
     
    3B: How can I run the example code hello.upc?
     
    Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
     
    Regards,
     
    Deb

    Deb,
    
    Our instructions all a reader who is familiar with a Unix-type
    environment.
    Some hints that should help:
    
    + You should be using the Cygwin "bash" shell, not the DOS command
    prompt.
    + berkeley_upc-2.10.0.tar.gz is a compressed "tar" archive containing 
    the source code - you need to unpack it
    + The "\" at the end of the configure command is a Unix shell thing for
    
    continuing a line.  So, if you entered the MPI_CC=... on the same line
    
    you might have more success
    + MPI_CC is a setting for the MPI compiler, not the mpiexec command 
    (which runs mpi apps), but the default probably works
    + You do need a setting for MPIRUN_CMD (which will be a "template" that
    
    include mpiexec).
    + CC and C++ default to gcc and g++ when they are available
    + To install in D:\upc you probably need "--prefix=/cygdrive/d/upc" on
    
    the configure command line
    
    So combining those, you probably want to enter the following five 
    commands in the Cygwin "bash" shell:
    
    cd /cygdrive/d/upc
    tar xfz
    /cygdrive/d/S-PLUS7/R/Parallel/Berkeley/berkeley_upc-2.10.0.tar.gz
    mkdir build
    cd build
    ../berkeley_upc-2.10.0/configure --prefix=/cygdrive/d/upc 
    MPIRUN_CMD='mpiexec -n %N %C' --enable-mpi
    
    If that all works, then "make" and "make install" are the next to 
    commands to run.
    The --enable-mpi ensures that if the default MPI_CC setting doesn't 
    work, then the configure step will stop (rather than letting you 
    accidentally build Berkeley UPC without MPI support).  If that happens,
    
    we can try to figure out the proper setting for MPI_CC.
