Re: [mpich-discuss] MPICH 3.2.1 build error with icc+ifort: undefined reference to `_Static_assert'

14 Jun 2018

      Hi Jeff

No, I haven't tried to compile with GCC 8.
The computer has gcc 7.3.1 from Fedora 26.
I also doubt the code is really Fortran 90 compliant.
It has Cray pointers, included files (chains of them),
and things the like.
This is a small project to get a postdoc
here up and running with his research,
and the solution you provided is fine.

Many thanks,
Gus

It’s shocking that a compliant Fortran 90 code doesn’t compile with GCC 
8. Have you reported the bugs to GCC bugzilla?

Hi Jeff
This is actually to compile a Fortran90 program,
    which uses MPI and another library (netCDF) through
    Fortran modules (use MPI, use netcdf).
    The code doesn't compile under gfortran, only with ifort.
    Optimization and efficiency is not the top priority,
    if we can get the code to compile and run that is fine.
Since Fortran modules are compiler-dependent, I need to
    build MPICH (and netCDF) with the Intel compilers.
    I have done this for a variety of compilers and compiler
    versions for our clusters (before Infiniband with MPICH,
    then with Open MPI),
    but this turn it is for a single workstation,
    hence MPICH is a good fit.
That Fortran90 modules are compiler-dependent really sucks,
    and is the negation of software inter-operability
    and portability.
    It may serve well the compiler vendors,
    but for users it is just a pain.
Anyway, your suggestion to tweak with that include file worked,
    and I could build MPICH 3.2.1 with the archaic Intel 2012.
Many thanks!
