PGI: libevent build failure on Mac OS-x
hppritcha opened this issue · 6 comments
libevent has a configury problem that prevents building the OMPI internal version of libevent
on OS-X when using PGI compilers (including 16.10).
The problem is described in more detail in this posting to devel:
https://mail-archive.com/devel@lists.open-mpi.org/msg19824.html
I'm not sure what we should do on our side. Reading Paul's email, it seems someone added this GCC-specific flag which broke compilation with PGI on darwin. Should we remove it ? Or only add this flag when the compiler is GCC ?
@sjeaugey Agreed -- it seems like libevent's configury is incorrectly adding that compiler flag. It seems like it would be a relatively straightforward configury fix (although for best results, it should probably also be sent upstream to libevent). Can you supply a PR?
Another case of updating the README to indicate that we don't support PGI on OS-x.
closing.
