Package: openmpi-bin
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: glibc-bsd-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

Hi,

the current openmpi packages now build fine on Debian/GNU kFreeBSD,
except for one thing: the libibverbs library doesn't exist
on non-Linux platforms (no upstream support) and it doesn't seem likely
that it will be available anytime soon (but please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Thus, kfreebsd-* (and also hurd-*, I guess) should be excluded from the
dependencies on non-Linux platforms, see patch.

The attached patch was enough for me to get a successful build on
kFreeBSD i386. It seems the build system copes fine with a missing
libibverbs otherwise, no further fixes seem to be required.

However, actually _using_ Open MPI does not yet work, I get a segfault
on my hello world program. But I think that's unrelated so I'll file an
extra bug on that.


HTH, Uwe.
