# wrapper for the autoconf-archive check. Note: compiling MPI-stuff sucks!

# Explanation:
# ============
#

# Compilation of MPI programs is normally done by a
# mpicc/mpiCC-wrapper that adds all options needed. Thus, it may seem
# possible to just replace the compiler call by the wrapper and
# everything works. Unfortunately that's not the case: automake and
# libtool both show strange behaviour.
#
# In detail: replacing the compiler globally via ./configure CXX=mpiCC
# should work (at least I've found reports claiming this) but that is
# not what we want: mainly, it just adds a level of possible errors
# (mpiCC from MPICH does _nothing_ if "mpicc -c dummy.cc" is called!)
# and may introduce nice library-clashes.
#
# The next approach would be to include
#       if MPI
#         CXX = $(MPICXX)
#       endif
# in the Makefile.am where MPI is needed. First, this will change
# compilations of all binaries in this directory and secondly the
# dependency-tracking seems to break: the first compilation worked but
# the second failed with the compiler complaining about mismatching
# flags... There is no 'program_CXX = ...' in automake but even if
# there were it would break as well
#
# Thus, the best solution is to extract the flags needed for
# compilation and linking. Unfortunately, the parameters and behaviour
# of mpicc is not at all consistent over different
# implementations. For MPICH the parameters -compile_info and
# -link_info exist (albeit not being documented in the manpage, only
# in -help), for LAM dummy-calls of compilation and linking together
# with a -showme parameter (which is called -show in MPICH...) have to
# be used. Obviously, we have to identify the type of package... this
# is done via mpiCC-calls for now, I wouldn't be surprised if ths
# breaks often. Bad luck. Blame the MPI folks for this mess. And blame
# them a lot. [Thimo 26.8.2004]

# Sometimes ACX_MPI will not be able to find the correct MPI compiler,
# or sometimes you might have several MPI installations. Specify the
# MPICC variable to enforce a certain MPI compiler.

# In order to disable the usage of MPI (and make Dune purely
# sequential) you can supply the option
#   --disable-parallel
