Sorry about the delayed response. I have been trying to gather more
information. Here they are:
1. I am using a Cray XC50 system with Cray OS. It allows us to choose
different compiler suites by loading appropriate modules, e.g. PrgEnv-cray
(for Cray compiler), PrgEnv-gnu, PrgEnv-intel etc. If I use the Cray
compiler, the "cc -V" works fine:
sc1.SNB-XC50-login1:~> cc -V
Cray C : Version 8.7.1 Sun Sep 29, 2019 13:14:30
Whereas, loading the PrgEnv-gnu module leads to the error associated with
unrecognised option "-V" as reported earlier. So it seems Amber configure
script only specifically caters to Cray compilers when the "./configure
cray" option is chosen. Since the cray compiler comes with the limitation
of not being able to use fftw3 etc, and also using external netcdf (which
somehow did not work for me), I decided to go the GNU way with problems
described below.
2. I load the "PrgEnv-gnu" and use "./configure -crayxt5 gnu" (-crayxt5
option is used to set the Cray environment variables: CC=cc, CXX=CC, and
FC=ftn directly). Now the compiler version checks work fine, except for a
warning about "Hugepage" library:
Testing the cc compiler:
cc -fPIC -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -o testp testp.c
libhugetlbfs [SNB-XC50-login1:792]: WARNING: No mount point found for
default huge page size. Using first available mount point.
libhugetlbfs [SNB-XC50-login1:792]: WARNING: Hugepage size 2097152
unavailableOK
But the fatal error comes at the cpptraj compilation stage:
Configuring CPPTRAJ...
CPPTRAJ configure failed. Check
'/lustrefs0/sc/sc1/soft/amber18/AmberTools/src/cpptraj_config.log' for
details.
Configure failed due to the errors above!
cpptraj_config.log says:
Error: gnu compilers specified but need cray based on CXX = CC
I am lost at this point and cannot convince the Amber configure script to
use GNU compilers. The compilation should just work as long as the CC=cc,
CXX=CC, and FC=ftn environment variables are correctly set and they seem to
work fine. Where do I turn off this "special" checking for Cray systems?
Thanks and regards,
Suman.
