MPI extension using use-mpi-f08 build fails with "Can't open module" error

[t-kurita]

Thank you for taking the time to submit an issue!

Background information

Describe how Open MPI was installed (e.g., from a source/distribution tarball, from a git clone, from an operating system distribution package, etc.)

from a source

Please describe the system on which you are running

• Complier

Details of the problem

I'm making an MPI extension using use-mpi-f08 referring to the example ("ompi/mpiext/example" directory).

When I try to build, the build fails with

Fatal Error: Can't open module file 'mpi_f08_types.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory

Even if I use the MPI extension example(ompi/mpiext/example) on master branch, the build fails with the same error.

../../../../../../../src/ompi/mpiext/example/use-mpi-f08/mpiext_example_progress_f08.F90:18:8:

   use :: mpi_f08_types, only : MPI_Comm
        1
Fatal Error: Can't open module file 'mpi_f08_types.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory

When I built the MPI extension example, I removed the ompi/mpiext/example/.opal_ignore file.

Is there any counter-measure?

@t-kurita there is an egg and the chicken issue.
as a temporary workaround, you can

make # this will fail
pushd ompi/mpi/fortran/use-mpi-f08
make
popd
make #this will work but generate an incomplete f08 lib
pushd ompi/mpi/fortran/use-mpi-f08
make clean
popd
make install

before that, you need to manually apply the following patch

@ggouaillardet thank for your workaround and patch.

I tried it, but build failed with another error

../src/ompi/mpiext/example/use-mpi-f08/mpiext_example_usempif08.h:23:14: Fatal Error: Can't open module file 'mpi_f08_types.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

So I modified ompi/mpi/fortran/mpiext/Makefile.am like the following patch, then build was ok.

thanks for the feedback.
i made #3617 to fix this issue once for all, and it is pending for review.
you also have the option to manually apply https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/3617.patch and you will be able to make in one step.
note you need recent autotools if you choose to apply #3617

[t-kurita]

thank you for reply.
I'll try your patch.

[t-kurita]

@ggouaillardet I manually applied your patch https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/3617.patch.

Then I could make in one step.

Build for MPI extension example ompi/mpiext/example and my MPI extension using use-mpi-f08 were OK.

I still see this error for the Fortran 2008 extension I'm attempting to build. I'm trying to follow the example in ompi/mpi/fortran/mpiext/use-mpi-f08 where the Makefile.am references OMPI_FORTRAN_USEMPIF08_MOD; however, that macro was removed from config/ompi_setup_mpi_fortran.m4 as part of 791bcee.

@nathanweeks Should now be fixed on master. Let us know if you're still having the problem.
