I'm trying to install boost and its MPI bindings on a Cray XT5 and this is what I get after adding using mpi ; to user-config.jam: MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/3.3/bin/CC or MPI auto-detection failed: unknown wrapper compiler mpic++
It takes a fair bit of work to get XT working with Boost.Build. Here's a few pointers. In our user-config.jam we have this description. using pgi : 10.1.xt : CC cc ftn : <cflags>"-Utflops -B -Knoieee -Mnosecond_underscore" <cxxflags>"-DMPICH_IGNORE_CXX_SEEK -Utflops -Knoieee - Mnosecond_underscore" <find-shared-library>"std -lm -ldl" <find-static-library>"pgf90 -lpgf90_rpm1 -lpgf902 -lpgf90rtl - lpgftnrtl" ; Notice that we pass the Fortran, C and C++ compilers down into the Pgi toolset initialization function. I've also attached our pgi.jam so you can see how we process the various toolset compilers. Notice that you'll need to make some modifications to mpi.jam to handle the XT style MPI compiler wrappers. Here's a block we added to mpi.jam to do this for XT. else if [ safe-shell-command "$(command) -target=linux -show - c" ] && ! [ safe-shell-command "$(command) -compile_info" ] { if $(.debug-configuration) { ECHO "Found Pgi XT MPI wrapper compiler: $(command)" ; } compile_flags = [ SHELL "env PATH=`pwd`/boost/tools/build/v2/ tools:$PATH $(command) -c" ] ; compile_flags = [ strip-eol $(compile_flags) ] ; link_flags = [ SHELL "env PATH=`pwd`/boost/tools/build/v2/tools: $PATH $(command) -show " ] ; # remove -show from the compile and link flags, if present front_dashc = [ MATCH "(.*)-show " : $(link_flags) ] ; if $(front_dashc) { back_dashc = [ MATCH " -show(.*)" : $(link_flags) ] ; link_flags = "$(back_dashc)" ; } } Also note that we had to add a new architecture (cray) and target (catamount) and a few other modifications to get things going but I can't recall them all at the moment. We have to invoke bjam with: architecture=cray target=catamount instruction-set=opteron pgi-10.1.xt Hope that helps! -- Noel
