<p>If you cannot use the wrapper compiler for some reason, there are
multiple supported ways to extract the compiler/linker flags that you
will need.</p>
<div class="section" id="using-the-showme-option">
<h2><span class="section-number">11.3.1. </span>Using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--showme</span></code> option<a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-showme-option" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The wrapper compiler supports a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--showme</span></code> command line option
that will show what commands would have been invoked.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If you pass <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--showme</span></code> <em>and additional command line
parameters</em> to the wrapper compiler, be sure to <em>also</em> pass in a
filename. Otherwise, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--showme</span></code> functionality will not
display output as expected.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>It is almost never a good idea to hard-code these results
in a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Makefile</span></code> (or other build system). It is almost always
best to run (for example) <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pmixcc</span> <span class="pre">--showme:compile</span></code> in a dynamic
fashion to find out what you need. For example, GNU Make allows
running commands and assigning their results to variables:</p>
<div class="highlight-make notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">PMIX_COMPILE_FLAGS</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="o">=</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="k">$(</span>shell<span class="w"> </span>pmixcc<span class="w"> </span>--showme:compile<span class="k">)</span>

<span class="nf">my_app</span><span class="o">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="n">my_app</span>.<span class="n">c</span>

</pre></div>

<div class="section" id="using-pkg-config">
<h2><span class="section-number">11.3.2. </span>Using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pkg-config</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#using-pkg-config" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Alternatively, PMIx also installs <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pkg-config(1)</span></code> configuration
files under <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$libdir/pkgconfig</span></code>. If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pkg-config</span></code> is configured to
find these files (e.g., if you add <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$libdir/pkgconfig</span></code> — which
is usually <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$prefix/lib/pkgconfig</span></code> — to the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PKG_CONFIG_PATH</span></code> environment variable), then compiling / linking
PMIx programs can be performed like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>shell$<span class="w"> </span><span class="nb">export</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="nv">PKG_CONFIG_PATH</span><span class="o">=</span>/opt/pmix/lib/pkgconfig
shell$<span class="w"> </span>gcc<span class="w"> </span>hello_world.c<span class="w"> </span>-o<span class="w"> </span>hello_world<span class="w"> </span>-g<span class="w"> </span><span class="se">\</span>
<span class="w"> </span><span class="sb">`</span>pkg-config<span class="w"> </span>pmix<span class="w"> </span>--cflags<span class="w"> </span>--libs<span class="sb">`</span>
shell$
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>PMIx’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pkg-config</span></code> file <em>works properly</em>, but it
probably isn’t <em>technically correct</em>.</p>
<p>Specifically: PMIx will list all of its dependent
libraries that are necessary to link PMIx-based application,
even if a given dependency has a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pc</span></code> file and should
therefore be listed as a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Requires</span></code> and/or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Requires.private</span></code> in PMIx’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.pc</span></code> files.</p>
<p>For example, PMIx lists <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-lhwloc</span></code> in both <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Libs</span></code> and
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Libs.private</span></code>. But since HWLOC provides its own
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pmix.pc</span></code> file, it would be more correct for PMIx to
<em>not</em> list <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-lhwloc</span></code> in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Libs</span></code> / <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Libs.private</span></code>, and
instead include:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">Requires</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">hwloc</span>
<span class="n">Requires</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">private</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">hwloc</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The end result is likely immaterial, but we document this
just in case it ever becomes an issue someday.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="using-pmix-info">
<h2><span class="section-number">11.3.3. </span>Using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pmix_info</span></code><a class="headerlink" href="#using-pmix-info" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>This method is not directly suitable for getting all the compiler /
linker flags needed to compile PMIx-based applications because it does not
include the relevant flags to find PMIx’s headers and libraries.
But it does show a breakdown of all other flags.</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>shell$ pmix_info --all | grep Build
Build CFLAGS:
Build LDFLAGS:
Build LIBS: -ldl -levent_core -levent_pthreads -lhwloc
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This installation is <em>only</em> adding options in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xLIBS</span></code> areas of the
wrapper compilers; all other values are blank (remember: the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-I</span></code>’s
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-L</span></code>’s are implicit).</p>
<p>Note that the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--parsable</span></code> option can be used to obtain
machine-parsable versions of this output. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>shell$ ompi_info --all --parsable | grep option:build
option:build:cflags:
option:build:ldflags:
option:build:libs:-ldl -levent_core -levent_pthreads -lhwloc
