@ggouaillardet identified that HAVE_ALIAS_ATTRIBUTE was not properly
being defined in the embedded libfabric. This is because the
embedded configury missed the test for it (i.e., the real configure.ac
for libfabric always defines HAVE_ALIAS_ATTRIBUTE to 0 or 1 -- we
didn't emulate that properly here in libfabric's configure.m4).
Also, fix some grammar and properly escape another AC_MSG_CHECKING
message in libfabric's configure.m4.
Embedding libfabric is a temporary measure; I'm removing some warning
notifications so that the output isn't so cluttered (we're getting
the real warnings fixed upstream, but the OMPI community doesn't
really care/need to see the warnings in the meantime).
For static builds, we need to also set
<framework>_<component>_WRAPPER_EXTRA_LIBS so that the wrappers know
what other libraries to add to link executables.
Properly test for some dependent libraries; don't just assume
elsewhere in Open MPI's configury will find those libraries. Also
consolidate some CPPFLAGS and clarify some comments.
Ensure that the <provider>_happy shell variables are initialized to
0. Without this, the --without-libfabric case would leave them
initialized, resulting in "test: -eq operator expecting a value" kinds
of errors.
1. Ensure to override CFLAGS properly. Move the setting of CFLAGS outside the AM_CONDITIONAL so that Automake doesn't get confused (because CFLAGS is already set inside an AM_CONDITIONAL -- moving it outside the conditional ensure that this local CFLAGS override trumps all other CFLAGS overrides).
2. Only build libfabric on Linux. Add a little more configury to ensure that we only try to build libfabric on Linux.
3. Remove a dead/unused file
4. Fix typo in condition check
5. Use "false", not "/bin/false"
This commit represents the conversion of the usnic BTL from verbs to
libfabric.
For the moment, libfabric is embedded in Open MPI (currently in the
usnic BTL). This is because the libfabric API is still changing, and
also has not yet been released. Ultimately, this embedded copy of
libfabric will likely disappear and the usnic BTL will rely on an
external installation of libfabric.
New configure options:
* --with-libfabric: will cause configure to fail if libfabric support
cannot be built
* --without-libfabric: will prevent libfabric support from being built
* --with-libfabric=DIR: use an external libfabric installation
* --with-libfabric-libdir=LIBDIR: when paired with --with-libfabric=DIR,
use LIBDIR for the libfabric installation library dir
The --with-libnl3[-libdir] arguments are now gone.
