Re: [AMBER] [PATCH 4/8] sqm: Fix OpenMP build

From: Ross Walker <ross.rosswalker.co.uk>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 09:26:34 -0700

The openMP code inside SQM (and some related to QM/MM inside Sander) is
experimental, unfinished and meant for developers only. This is why it
undocumented and not turned on by the openmp flags in the configure
script.

Hence the reason why most of this code is protected by #ifdef OPENMP and
thus it is not surprising turning on the blanket inclusion of OMP flags in
the compiler results in a bunch of undefined references. You have to
specify #ifdef OPENMP as well. Note though that this will get you an
executable (hopefully) but there are then new qmmm name list flags and the
way one runs the code is subtly different. Thus if you want to use it and
experiment please do (note if you are linking to MKL you might have to be
careful with that to get the right version of the MKL library for openMP
code). But it shouldn't be on in the normal configure.

All the best
Ross
