[ITP] OpenCoarrays 1.0

[Alessandro Fanfarillo]

Dear all,

I would like to port the OpenCoarrays library (opencoarrays.org) on
Cygwin. The library implements the multi-image Coarray Fortran support
on GCC 5.1 and it is distributed under BSD 3 license.
It requires GCC 5.1 and a MPI implementation (OpenMPI works fine).
Since this is the first time I work on a Cygwin package, any
suggestion/instruction/comment is more than welcome.

Regards

Alessandro

as current gcc is 4.9.2-3 how do you plan to overcome the problem ?

As Marco mentioned, we are currently on GCC 4.9 and, due to the ABI
changes in GCC 5, will not be able to upgrade to it without a mass
rebuild.  Therefore, it will be some time before this package can be
added to the distribution.

Thanks for explaining. I managed to build GCC 5.1 from source on
Cygwin and I can run all my codes with OpenMPI and OpenCoarrays
without any problem but I cannot force the users to do the same. I'm
looking forward to seeing GCC 5.1 package.

Thanks
