Chris@82:All of the FFTW MPI code is located in the mpi subdirectory of
Chris@82: the FFTW package. On Unix systems, the FFTW MPI libraries and header
Chris@82: files are automatically configured, compiled, and installed along with
Chris@82: the uniprocessor FFTW libraries simply by including
Chris@82: --enable-mpi in the flags to the configure script
Chris@82: (see Installation on Unix).

Any implementation of the MPI standard, version 1 or later, should
Chris@82: work with FFTW. The configure script will attempt to
Chris@82: automatically detect how to compile and link code using your MPI
Chris@82: implementation. In some cases, especially if you have multiple
Chris@82: different MPI implementations installed or have an unusual MPI
Chris@82: software package, you may need to provide this information explicitly.
Chris@82:
Most commonly, one compiles MPI code by invoking a special compiler
Chris@82: command, typically mpicc for C code. The configure
Chris@82: script knows the most common names for this command, but you can
Chris@82: specify the MPI compilation command explicitly by setting the
Chris@82: MPICC variable, as in ‘./configure MPICC=mpicc ...’.

Chris@82:
If, instead of a special compiler command, you need to link a certain
Chris@82: library, you can specify the link command via the MPILIBS
Chris@82: variable, as in ‘./configure MPILIBS=-lmpi ...’. Note that if
Chris@82: your MPI library is installed in a non-standard location (one the
Chris@82: compiler does not know about by default), you may also have to specify
Chris@82: the location of the library and header files via LDFLAGS and
Chris@82: CPPFLAGS variables, respectively, as in ‘./configure
Chris@82: LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/mpi/libs CPPFLAGS=-I/path/to/mpi/include ...’.
