Description Susi Lehtola 2010-02-14 08:58:34 UTC

Paraview contains MPI enabled stuff, but the package does not comply to the
MPI packaging guidelines
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/MPI
that were approved by FESCo in August

http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2009-08-14/fedora-meeting.2009-08-14-17.01.html

Please adjust the package naming and add support for other compilers.

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2010-02-16 23:51:12 UTC

Please take a look at 3.6.2-2 in development.  I think this addresses most issues.

Comment 2 Susi Lehtola 2010-02-17 13:03:37 UTC

Move the binaries into %{_libdir}/openmpi/bin and %{_libdir}/mpich2/bin as instructed in the guideline. The libraries should go in %{_libdir}/openmpi/lib and 
%{_libdir}/mpich2/lib.

I wouldn't make the mpich2 package provide and obsolete the old -mpi package, that's already in -openmpi.

And I'd recommend using the wrappers CC=mpicc, CXX=mpicxx.

Comment 3 Orion Poplawski 2010-02-19 15:35:05 UTC

Okay, fixed in paraview-3.6.2-3.fc13/14.  I do use the wrappers via:

        -DMPI_COMPILER:FILEPATH=%{_libdir}/openmpi/bin/mpicxx
