Full Autotools build
- GPU and SPI not yet enabled
- A single long Makefile.am: this might be broken in many files if you prefer, though I can't see a practical reason for doing that
Thanks, I'll take a look at this next week. I'm not sure I like the single list of all source files too much, but if that's the only way to achieve the desired goal, so be it.
No no one can certainly split the Makefile.am across multiple files and use include directive to collect them in the main Makefile.am, if you prefer. I can do that quickly.
What I find cumbersome, is to split the build into (in)convenient sublibraries. Given that you always link all of them, there is little reason to have a libsolver, a libhmc, etc etc, I would keep just libtmlQCD as a single target. That's also beneficial to parallel compilation.
In any case, I can arrange for split sublibs if you wish.
Ok now the Makefile.am is split across different files, included in subdirs, there is still a bit of a mess in the master Makefile.am and one would probably split the main folder sourcefiles list into a dedicated file (or put the files in an appropriate directory?)
did I tell already how much I love automake!? ;)
anyhow, I guess I have to type automake in the main directory, correct?
Here automake-warnings.txt the list of warnings and errors... anyone?
even if I invoke automake --add-missing I do not get a configure script that would be working
include files are not installed by make install, the rest seems to work as expected
well, this is what I get after an autoreconf:
$> autoreconf
configure.ac:15: error: required file './compile' not found
configure.ac:15: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'compile'
configure.ac:13: error: required file './missing' not found
configure.ac:13: 'automake --add-missing' can install 'missing'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
another round of automake --add-missing solves it then. Is this ment
seriously?
Works for me.

That's why one usually has an autogen.sh script.
It worked with a single invocation of automake --add-missing for me though (in a fresh source directory). Should be tested on Marconi and Jureca, just in case problems arise there.
has this been tried with --enable-sse2?

I think the full set of configure options needs to be mapped out. Ideally one would do this via travis...
SSE2 / SSE3 seem to work, but produce the kinds of errors upon compilation that we got a while ago from the single precision stuff
for me it does not compile with SSE2
no, it doesn't compile, but the flags seem to be defined correctly
the errors come from the single precision hopping matrix...
My autgen.sh -like script (for nissa) goes like this
#!/bin/sh
rm -fr \
aclocal.m4 \
autom4te.cache \
$(find . -name "Makefile.in") \
config/{compile,config.guess,config.sub,depcomp,install-sh,missing,ylwrap} \
configure
aclocal
autoreconf --verbose --install --force
and D_psi, respectively
same for me...

For what concern flags, I've modified the ALIGN stuff, adding or removing the description (if I believe correctly), but it would be better if you could check it...
The README should probably be adjusted to contain
aclocal
autoreconf --verbose --install --force
as an instruction for generating configure.
Yes, but the
autogen.shorboostrap.shwould be advisable
yes, add it please. I have no experience with automake whatsoever...

The wikipedia article about GNU Autotools has a nice flowchart, this really helped me when I tried to compile the USQCD code.
I have found that aclocal && autoreconf -fiv is indeed sufficient. Just calling autoconf (even with flags like --install or --add-missing) does not do everything that is needed. In principle one does not need to call autoconf manually. automake should not be called manually, the configure script will do that.
For USQCD projects the following commands do all I need:
aclocal
autoreconf -fiv
./configure
make
make install

If this is nice, I don't want to hear what's the feeling of setting up a project with cmake
autoreconf -fiv
same same
So what about the gpu side?
there are very good reasons that I never used cmake or automake for tmLQCD... ;)
