[gmx-users] problems building gromacs 3.3 with mpi on MacOS X

[Michel Cuendet]

Hi,

I managed with lam 7.1.1, and with the following flags. It seems that 
the X libraries were giving me problems. Note that without the -qhot 
flag, I got all NAN in positions !!

setenv F77 xlf_r
setenv FFLAGS "-O3 -Q=1000 -qtune=ppc970 -qarch=ppc970 -qalign=4k -qhot "
setenv CC xlc_r
setenv CFLAGS "-O3 -Q=1000 -qtune=ppc970 -qarch=ppc970 -qaltivec -qhot "
setenv CXX xlc++_r
setenv CXXFLAGS  "-O3 -Q=1000 -qtune=ppc970 -qarch=ppc970 -qaltivec -qhot "
                                                                                                   

 ./configure --enable-ppc-altivec --enable-threads --enable-mpi 
--without-x --program-suffix="_mpi"

It would be useful to have a page on the website where recommended flags 
are given for architectures not completely supported by the configure 
script.

Ciao,
Michel
