scotch build error, mpicc not found

[petrrr]

I guess the problem is here:

[...]
mpicc -O3 -Drestrict=__restrict -DCOMMON_PTHREAD -DCOMMON_RANDOM_FIXED_SEED -DCOMMON_TIMING_OLD -DSCOTCH_PTHREAD -DSCOTCH_RENAME -DSCOTCH_RENAME_PARSER -DSCOTCH_PTSCOTCH -DSCOTCH_VERSION=5 -DSCOTCH_RELEASE=1 -DSCOTCH_PATCHLEVEL=10 dummysizes.c -o dummysizes -lm
make[2]: mpicc: No such file or directory
[...]

The path should be given explicitly. Usually, this probably isn't noted, because there are some link or similar around, but on my freshly installed system its not set yet.

The main.log file.

By the way, maybe this is a good occasion to update this port?

Hmmm, I actually thought about abandoning it, because I introduced it back then only in order to build something else which I never pursued any further.

Also this port doesn't work for newer compilers.

So, perhaps it's the time to get rid of it?

Well, I would vote for keeping it, it's useful for other purposes. I used it to build other software already and had the impression it worked fine for that purpose.

Also this port doesn't work for newer compilers.

What is the issue here? Is blacklisting an option?

So, perhaps it's the time to get rid of it?

Well ...

@Peter.Danecek: If you are interested in keeping this port, then please step up and volunteer to maintain it.

Hi Peter,

I also think that you could provide a patch to solve this issue. I'm willing to commit your suggestions, but I since I am not using this port at all and never really have done so I am not competent enough to do more about it.

If you're interested in maintaing this port, let me know. I am happy handing it over to you.

Greets, Marko

[petrrr]

Fine, will try to fix it in the near future, not immediately though (need to finish some stuff first). Maintainer? Well, first let's see if I get it fixed ;-)

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Great, I am happy that there is at least one user of this port! :-)

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

BTW, there is a new version out there: 5.1.12!

Portfile with explicit path to openmpicc

[wimmer@…]

I have added a Portfile that solves the mpicc issue.

It turns out that I need this package, in particular because it is a prerequisite of another package I'd like to get to MacPorts (the MUMPS sparse solver, ​http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/MUMPS/ ). Hence I can look a bit into updating this port.

In particular, I'd need the version from the SCOTCH website that ends with "_esmumps". That version adds an additional wrapper library used by MUMPS. Is there any reason to not directly include that additional wrapper? Making a variant seems a bit exaggerated with a port very few people use. If that's ok, I'll add a portfile with a recent version and including the "esmumps" wrapper.

Sorry, was misguided there. I hope the proper format is there now.

Thanks!
