Config for building PETSc with MPI and multiple MPI versions
I am building PETSc with --with-mpi-dir=MY_MPI_INSTALL
following the instructions in the README.
The configuration is not complete though, as building external-solver
with Allwmake
does not include the MPI headers required by PETSc headers and I have to manually add an include entry for my MPI installation in petsc4foam/Make/options. With that, everything builds correctly, but it's not what I expect.
Also, the built lib goes into FOAM_MODULE_LIBBIN/$WM_OPTIONS
and not into FOAM_MODULE_LIBBIN/$WM_OPTIONS/$FOAM_MPI
. This prevents from using multiple MPI versions with the same OpenFOAM build, unless we play with FOAM_MODULE_LIBBIN
to get there.
Questions:
- am I correct in building PETSc with a specific MPI or does petsc4foam rely on PStream?
- in case I'm doing right, how should I better handle the multiple MPI configuration?
