Arch Linux

In debian the serial version and the mpi one are in different packages. In Arch, we could do this in a splitted pkg.

hdf5-openmpi is on AUR, so it would be easy, I suppose.
I don't know if serial and parallel version can live in peace together ... probably not.

I'm glad to help if needed!

The lib names should be the same in both serial and mpi version, so they should conflicts each other. I think this is also how debian did it.

Feel free to submit a patch if you want to speed this up. I suppose we can also add CXX and fortran bindings ( FS#25098 ) as these are also not compatible with thread-safe.

CXX and parallel are incompatible, but is possible to override this
enabling 'unsupported' flag. I don't know if it's safe enough.

No problem with Fortran.

There's a big issue that prevents compilation: mpicc and fakeroot
don't like each other: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117493.

The suggested solution doesn't apply here, because make install calls
mpicc as a linker (through libtool).

Please find enclosed a first not-working draft of PKGBUILD. I'll keep trying.

I solved the 'openmpi' issue, with a Debian patch to be
applied to openmpi source.

Indeed, fakeroot mpicc -show still fails (segfault) with repo
version.

After recompiling openmpi with this patch, hdf5 compilation runs
smoothly *if* fortran is not enabled. Otherwise I obtain:

FCLD libhdf5_fortran.la
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l-L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.2
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Probably there's an easy way to prevent this, but as far as I see
from fortran/src/Makefile there's an extra -rpath at line 646.

Resuming:
- openmpi patch: have I to file a bug?
- hdf5-openmpi compiles fine *without* fortran interface, fails otherwise;
- paraview keeps working if hdf5 is replaced by hdf5-openmpi.

I am rebuilding openmpi with the fakeroot fix.

Thank you Stéphane.

Last version of PKGBUILD, *without* Fortran (see above).

Excepting the "|| return 1" that are no longer needed. This looks good to me.

There was another typo ('conficts' instead of 'conflicts').

Is it possible also to change hdf5 package in order to match this new
structure? I mean name from hdf5 to hdf5-serial, and a "provides=('hdf5')" and
"replaces=('hdf5')" into PKGBUILD.

Sorry for the silly question: is there something missing?
How do we procede?

Thanks!

what's the status here? is hdf5-fortran-cxx and the mpi variants in the aur the official packages for this now? thanks!
