[mvapich-discuss] subdir-objects issues with autogen.sh

[Jeff Hammond]

I found that autogen.sh fails for
https://mvapich.cse.ohio-state.edu/svn/mpi/mvapich2/branches/1.9
because of what's in src/armci isn't compatible with recent versions
of automake.  We fixed the issue with subdir-objects in ARMCI-MPI a
while ago but after it was removed from the MPICH trunk and migrated
from svn to git (with everything else in MPICH-land).

As ARMCI-MPI has been a separate project for some time now, I
recommend you resolve this issue by just deleting src/armci and all
references to it.  I doubt anyone will miss it as all of the active
users should be aware of http://git.mpich.org/armci-mpi.git/.

In addition to running "svn rm src/armci", I think these are the
changes you need to remote ARMCI-MPI:

Unfortunately, it seems MPL also has issues with subdir-objects.
These are certainly fixed upstream in MPICH.  I guess I have to roll
back to an older version of automake or try to merge the upstream
fixes myself.

Thanks,

Jeff
