Hi,

Thanks for the new version.

Unfortunately I was not able to compile it on Cygwin.

checking minix/config.h usability... no
checking minix/config.h presence... no
checking for minix/config.h... no
checking whether it is safe to define __EXTENSIONS__... yes
configure: searching for MPI_TS...
checking mpi.h usability... no
checking mpi.h presence... no
checking for mpi.h... no
configure: error: test for COMEX_NETWORK=MPI_TS failed
configure: error: ../../ga-5-2/comex/configure failed for comex
GNUmakefile:540: recipe for target `build/config.status' failed


Is it possible to compile it without MPI?

Need to have MPI installed

A prerequisite for a NWChem 6.3 build is to have MPI installed.
An easy way to install MPI on Windows (that should be compatible with Cygwin)
is to grab the Mpich installer at
http://www.mpich.org/static/tarballs/1.4.1p1/mpich2-1.4.1p1-win-ia32.msi

Once you have installed mpich2,
please set MPI_INCLUDE, MPI_LIB and LIBMPI according to you installation setup.

Thank you for the reply.

Another couple of questions.

Does this mean that I will not be able to use NWChem without MPI on the one core?
In particular, should be MPI installed on each machine that uses NWChem binary?

I installed mpich2. However, it seems to me that Cygwin can see only its own folders, and I do not understand how to setup MPI paths.

In aswering your question

1) The non MPi code might still be there, but it is not maintained at all. You might try to use it at your own risk.

2) cygwin can see any Windows/DOS disk, e.g.
c:\ becomes /cygdrive/c/
d:\ becomes /cygdrive/d

There is even a utility for doing this kind conversions between windos and cygwin universes

Unfortunately, I never got compiled.

However, my main concern is - can I provide a binary file to my users? I understand that MPI is now required for use, but does that mean that the program can not be run in single-processor mode at all? Does this mean that every user will have to install MPI, or we can do a couple of dll? Will I be able to capture the output with an external program, as well as I do it on 6.1.1?

ARMCI_NETWORK=SOCKETS
You can try compiling without MPI using "export ARMCI_NETWORK=SOCKETS". This should also produce a serial binary.

I'm trying to compile 6.3 under cygwin as well, using the same configuration that worked with 6.1.1 (using mpich2), now gives the following errors:

Any clue what goes wrong here?

I have the same problem with "ARMCI_NETWORK SOCKETS".

We are investigating the wtypes.h error.

Fix for type errors using SOCKETS
In: 

  src/tools/ga-5-2/global/src/sparse.c

Swap lines 15 and 16, i.e. replace:

 #include "abstract_ops.h"

 #include "globalp.h"

With:

 #include "globalp.h"

 #include "abstract_ops.h"

There seems to be some order dependency with respect to definitions.

Thank you very much, now compiled.
I have done the following:

Swap "abstract_ops.h" and "globalp.h" in src/tools/ga-5-2/global/src/sparse.c

csh
setenv NWCHEM_TOP ~/nwchem-6.3-src.2013-05-17
setenv NWCHEM_TARGET CYGWIN
setenv NWCHEM_MODULES all
setenv ARMCI_NETWORK SOCKETS

cd $NWCHEM_TOP/src
make nwchem_config
make > & make.log

Hi Ivo,

Could you be so kind to explain how to compile with MPI.
Unfortunately, I have only a single processor version.

I have mpich2 installed under /home/ivo/mpich2-install.
Then I have the following environmental variables in place:

setenv NWCHEM_TOP /home/ivo/nwchem-6.3-src.2013-05-17
setenv NWCHEM_TARGET CYGWIN
setenv NWCHEM_MODULES all
setenv FC gfortran
setenv USE_MPI y
setenv LIBMPI "-lpmpich -lmpich -lopa -lmpl -lpthread -lmpichf90"
setenv MPI_LIB /home/ivo/mpich2-install/lib
setenv MPI_INCLUDE /home/ivo/mpich2-install/include

Then from /home/ivo/nwchem-6.3-src.2013-05-17/src I do:

make nwchem_config
make >& make.log

That at least works for me.

There are still some issues with some of the QA tests though. Will post them when they are done.

Most of the differences seem to be very minor. The only job to give relatively big differences is cosmo_h3co_gp. And I don't know why cosmo_h3co_ecp crashed.
