Subject: openmpi 3.1.2 missing mpicxx
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2018 07:50:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMurBn+p-80xPpEyWH9N4R5cZYoEaveLKFHYg=E+cN5+SWqTaA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

The openmpi package version 3.1.2 no longer contains the mpicxx compiler
wrapper, which is present in 3.1.1 package. In the package update
announcement this is explicitly mentioned:

https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-09/msg00099.html

as being depreciated. I know that the C++ bindings for MPI have certainly
been depreciated, but the mpicxx wrapper itself is not; there are lots of
C++ programs that use MPI by using the C bindings. Certainly this was the
reason that was given for not removing mpicxx when someone suggested it:

https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/1686

Would it be possible to reinstate the mpicxx wrapper?

Many thanks,

Andy
