How to compile MPI with gcc?

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to compile MPI with gcc?. I need to use gcc, no mpicc.

Answer 1

Yes, you can certainly compile an MPI program without the convenience of the mpicc wrapper. On most implementations mpicc is a shell script (or similar) which sets environment variables, finds and links various libraries, all the sort of stuff that you might otherwise put into a Makefile.

I suggest that you find an instance of the mpicc script and deconstruct it.
