#38319: openmpi @1.6.4 +gcc45 non-standard names for executables --------------------------+------------------- Reporter: dstrubbe@… | Owner: mww@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: openmpi | --------------------------+------------------- Comment (by sean@…): Replying to [comment:2 dstrubbe@…]:
Thanks for the note about "port contents", I hadn't realized that.
Actually I notice that mpich conflicts with openmpi so only one can be installed at a time, so it's not clear that the names need to be different for that. However, the port "lam" does not conflict with openmpi, so perhaps that is a better reason.
No, there is no specific reason for it besides neglect. lammpi is decrepit and should be replaced_by openmpi. Ideally, we should have a 'port select mpi …' but that would probably involve switching the mpi ports to subports. Any thoughts from other devs on that? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38319#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
