[Users] [Developers] problems compiling cactus on mac osx with ifort

[Bruno Giacomazzo]

Hi,
 	I was finally able to compile Cactus on my Mac (OS X Version 
10.4.10) using the fortran Intel compiler. I had to modify two files:

1) Cactus/lib/make/extras/MPI/MPICH using a patch that was created by 
Steve White one year ago and which solves a problem with mpich2 since 
tarch is not installed anymore. It use mpich2version instead (see 
mpich2.diff attached). Why this patch was not committed?

2) Cactus/lib/make/known-architectures/darwin since when using gcc to 
link, it tries to use icrt.link which is not installed. (see darwin.diff 
attached).

 	I have also attached the config-info file used to build the 
executable that runs without any problem. Note that I had to add the 
following option in the config file: LIBS=pmpich imf svml ifcore

 	I have used the following version of the compilers and libraries:

gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)
ifort Version 10.0
hdf5 Version 1.6.5
mpich2 Version 1.0.5


Cheers,
Bruno
