Cannot switch compiler to intel in ESL bundle

[ocaisa]

I was trying to build the ESL bundle with the intel compiler and Flook is causing me problems when linking the demonstrator since it can't read the mod files generated by the GCC compiler used by Flook. Flook seems to ignore all of the typical environment variables (CC, FC, CFLAGS). It also seems that aotus requires an additional VENDOR=intel argument for intel compilers.

Any tips to make this work?

Both flook and aotus requires the VENDOR=intel flag, that should work.

Yeah, I agree I really need to fix the build system... It is just a mess with aotus which has the Lua sources shipped. Secondly, aotus has its own build-system (waf). So it is a bit tricky to streamline this... :(

[ocaisa]

The lua stuff is not too bad since it all C, so I can still link just fine. It's the fortran that's the problem because I need the .mod files with the right compiler.

[zerothi]

Agreed, but it was more in terms of me doing another build-system. Then I need to create a build-system which uses different sub-build systems... :(

Well, just a complaint ;)

[zerothi]

Actually the easiest is to do:

1. Create an obj directory
2. Create a setup.make file with this content:

CC = icc
FC = ifort

3. Create a file Makefile with this content:

TOP_DIR =..
include ../Makefile

4. Run make liball
5. Run make install PREFIX=...

This should suffice, also for intel! :)

Yes, that works...now I just need to figure out how to tell the ESL bundle to do that!

@ocaisa Sorry for the very late reply.

That should not be too difficult, as one can tell jhbuild to apply a patch. I will create an issue for this.

Great! I'll close this for now.
