Dear all,
recently, I got a problem with FindMPI on our HPC systems. With cmake
3.10.2, I get an error about policy CMP0004. And I cannot set it to OLD
anymore. Is this intended?
Exactly the same error, together with a patch, is described in the
bugtracker https://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11881
I cannot reproduce the error easiliy. On my home system, it works. But
on the hpc system, mpicc -showme:link returns
-L<MPIDIR>/lib -lmpi -ldl -lm -lnuma -Wl,--export-dynamic -lrt -lnsl
-lutil -lm -ldl
so, we have exactly one -Wl,<something> part and libraries otherwise. It
looks to me, that the patch from the bugtracker should avoid the problem.
Can somebody confirm this finding?
The problem gets even worse with newercmake versions. With cmake 3.9, I
can set policy cmp0004 to OLD, so FindMPI remains usable. With newer
cmake versions, ie. 3.10.2, the policy setting seems to get deprecated.
So, the user won't get any way to use newer cmake with such a bug.
What is the preferred way to resolve such an issue, when the policy
setting is not allowed anymore?
Regards,
Andreas
