libompitrace	WARNING: Work on the temp branch being merged here encountered problems with bugs in subversion. Considerable effort has gone into validating the branch. However, not all conditions can be checked, so users are cautioned that it may be advisable to not update from the trunk for a few days to allow MTT to identify platform-specific issues.	2010-09-17 23:04:06 +00:00

README.txt

This is the OMPI contrib system.  It is (far) less functional and
flexible than the OMPI MCA framework/component system.

Each contrib package must have either both a configure.params and a
configure.m4 file, or it must have an autogen.subdirs file.

If it has (configure.params, configure.m4), configure.params can be
just like any MCA component's: specify a list of files to create
during AC_OUTPUT.  The configure.m4 file will be slurped up into the
main configure script, just like other MCA components.  Note that
there is currently no "no configure" option for contrib packages --
you *must* have a configure.m4 (even if all it does it call $1).
Feel free to fix this situation if you want -- see:

    https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/ticket/1162

:-)

If it has an autogen.subdirs file, then it needs to be a subdirectory
that is autogen-able (see the vt project for an example).
