How to link Fortran with the HPC Pack SDK?

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 11:58:18 Z

Hi -- I don't think this is specific to the particular compiler/linker I'm using (PGI)...maybe..

We are having difficulties linking Fortran with the new HPC Pack SDK, we can't find any documentation/examples for this.

Here's my link line for the CCS SDK. This link line works.

PGI$ pgf95 -I"c:\program files\microsoft compute cluster pack\include" Halo.f "c:\program files\microsoft compute cluster pack\lib\amd64\msmpi.lib"

We can't figure out what the corresponding link line might be for the HPC Pack SDK. The following line doesn't work because there are many unresolved symbols (e.g., mpi_init_)

PGI$ pgf90 -I"c:\program files\microsoft HPC Pack SDK\include" Halo.f "c:\program files\microsoft HPC Pack SDK\lib\amd64\msmpi.lib"

What are the other two libraries in c:\program files\microsoft HPC Pack SDK\lib\amd64 for? Adding either of them to the link line appears like progress, but then we get the error "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ifconsol.lib'"

thanks,

Marty

Hi Marty,

Yes using the new Fortran static libraries is the way to go. I'm sorry for the lack of documentation we will have the information posted soon.

You uncovered a problem with the static library, I will fix that for beta 2. To overcome this problem please add “-nodefaultlib” to your link line.

One of the msmpif*.lib is required on the link line in addition to msmpi.lib.
The msmpifec.lib supports compiling where the fortran compiler puts string length at the end of the parameter stack (most common case).
The msmpifms.lib supports compiling where the Fortran compilers puts the string length right after the string pointer on the parameter stack (mixed).

Hope this helps,

the following is the Makefile I used to compile MPI fortran code using pgi 7.0.4.

Hi Erez,

thanks for the response! Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to work:

PGI$ pgf90 -I"c:\program files\microsoft HPC Pack SDK\include" Halo.f "c:\program files\microsoft HPC Pack SDK\lib\amd64\msmpi.lib" "c:\program files\microsoft hpc pack sdk\lib\amd64\msmpifec.lib" -nodefaultlib

pgf90-Error-Switch -nodefaultlib expects an argument

-nodefaultlib=<lib> Passed to linker; remove library name to library search list

thanks,

Marty

Interesting, it did work for me (but I was using a different linker)

what version are you using?

how about -nodefaultlib='ifconsol (or 'ifconsol.lib)

thanks,

what version are you using? (It did work for me, probably because I'm using ms linker).

Please try using -defaultlib=ifconsol (or ifconsol.lib).

thanks,

Hi Marty,

adding -nodefaultlib did work for me (but probably because I'm using the ms linker).

please try adding -nodefaultlib=ifconsol (or ifconsol.lib).

btw: this is fixed for the upcomming beta2

thanks,
