This file is here for those who are building/exploring LAM/MPI in its
|
|
source code form, most likely through a developer's tree (i.e., a CVS
|
|
checkout).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use of GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
If you are building LAM/MPI from a developer's tree, you must first
|
|
use fairly recent versions of the GNU tools Autoconf, Automake, and
|
|
Libtool. As of this writing, you need at least Autoconf v2.58,
|
|
Automake v1.6, and Libtool 1.5. You can check what versions you have
|
|
installed with the following:
|
|
|
|
shell$ autoconf --version
|
|
shell$ automake --version
|
|
shell$ libtool --version
|
|
|
|
If you need newer versions, you are *strongly* encouraged to heed the
|
|
following advice:
|
|
|
|
1. Unless your OS distribution has easy-to-use binary installations,
|
|
the sources can be can be downloaded from:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/
|
|
|
|
2. Build and install the tools in the following order:
|
|
|
|
2a. Autoconf
|
|
2b. Automake
|
|
2c. Libtool
|
|
|
|
3. You MUST install all three tools into the same prefix directory.
|
|
These three tools are somewhat inter-related, and if they're going
|
|
to be used together, they MUST share a common installation prefix.
|
|
|
|
3a. It is *strongly* encouraged that you do not install your new
|
|
versions over the OS-installed versions. This could cause
|
|
other things on your system to break. Instead, install into
|
|
$HOME/local, or /usr/local, or wherever else you tend to
|
|
install "local" kinds of software.
|
|
3b. In doing so, be sure to prefix your $path with the directory
|
|
where they are installed. For example, if you install into
|
|
$HOME/local, you may want to edit your shell startup file
|
|
(.bashrc, .cshrc, .tcshrc, etc.) to have something like:
|
|
|
|
# For bash/sh:
|
|
export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH
|
|
# For csh/tcsh:
|
|
set path = ($HOME/local/bin $path)
|
|
|
|
3c. Ensure to set your $path *BEFORE* you configure/build/install
|
|
the three packages.
|
|
|
|
4. All three packages require two simple commands to build and
|
|
install (where PREFIX is the prefix discussed in 3, above).
|
|
|
|
shell$ cd autoconf-2.58
|
|
shell$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
|
|
shell$ make all install
|
|
|
|
--> if on csh or tcsh, run the "rehash" command
|
|
|
|
shell$ cd ../automake-1.6
|
|
shell$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
|
|
shell$ make all install
|
|
|
|
shell$ cd ../libtool-1.5
|
|
shell$ ./configure --prefix=PREFIX
|
|
shell$ make all install
|
|
|
|
--> if on csh or tcsh, run the "rehash" command
|
|
|
|
Autoconf and Automake build and install very quickly; Libtool will
|
|
take a minute or two.
|
|
|
|
5. You can now run LAM's top-level "autogen.sh" script. This script
|
|
will invoke the GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool commands in the
|
|
proper order and setup to run LAM's top-level "configure" script.
|
|
|
|
Running autogen.sh typically takes several minutes. It's not very
|
|
exciting to watch. :-)
|
|
|
|
5a. You generally need to run autogen.sh whenever the file
|
|
"configure.ac" changes, or any files in the config/ directory
|
|
change (the config/ directory is where a lot of "include" files
|
|
for LAM's configure script live).
|
|
|
|
5b. You do *NOT* need to re-run autogen.sh if you modify a
|
|
Makefile.am.
|
|
|
|
5c. Note that "autogen.sh" automatically traverses the entire LAM
|
|
tree, running the GNU tools in all MCA modules. This is not
|
|
always necessary. As you become more familiar with the LAM
|
|
sources, you will come to understand the when you only need to
|
|
re-generate the top-level configure script, and when you need
|
|
to re-generate *all* configure scripts (it's complicated -- not
|
|
described here -- when in doubt, do them all).
|
|
|
|
If you only need to re-generate the top-level configure script,
|
|
you can run:
|
|
|
|
shell$ autogen.sh -l
|
|
|
|
(i.e., "local" mode) which will prevent autogen.sh from
|
|
traversing all the MCA modules.
|
|
|
|
5d. Similarly, if you only need to regenerate the configure script
|
|
in a since MCA module directory, cd into that module's
|
|
directory and run autogen.sh in there directly.
|
|
|
|
shell$ cd src/mca/mpi/pml/teg
|
|
shell$ ../../../../../autogen.sh
|
