[Beowulf] Compiling HPL

[Kevin Ball]

Hi Jack,

  It looks like you might have a typo in your includes:
/usr/local/lam-7.1.1/share/include should be
-I/usr/local/lam-7.1.1/share/include.

Without that, gcc thinks /usr/local/lam-7.1.1/share/include is a source
file, and as it stated you cannot use -o with -c and multiple source
files.

  For future reference, the way that hpl runs its make system is as
follows:

1)  You make a Make.arch file that specifies details for your
architecture/setup/etc.  This is your Make.Linux_PII_CBLAS.  This file
goes in the top level.

2)  When you run 'make arch=Linux_PII_CBLAS', they create a subdirectory
for Linux_PII_CBLAS in every src directory.

3)  In that directory, they create a symbolic link Make.inc to your
Make.Linux_PII_CBLAS

4)  Into that directory they copy the appropriate make file from
hpl/makes (e.g. hpl/makes/make.auxil).  Each of these make files has an
'include Make.inc' in it.

5)  They run make from these directories.

Thus they are actually running make from a subdirectory of each of the
src dirs.  This is why the include paths are so often referencing many
directories above, and why you were seeing references to
./src/auxil/Linux_PII_CBLAS/Makefile

  Don't worry about having screwed things up by copying over that file; 
its recopied each time anyway.  Just be careful not to get rid of the
files in hpl/makes.

Hope this helps!
