[Dune] Problems compiling dune trunk on Cray XT6

[Eike Mueller]

Hi Benedikt,

I used the following config file to compile with gcc on HECToR machine (is that what you are using?):

AUTOGEN_FLAGS=
CONFIGURE_FLAGS="DUNE_LDFLAGS='-all-static' CC='cc' CXX='CC' CFLAGS='-O3' FFLAGS='-O3' FCFLAGS='-O3' CFLAGS='' 
CXXFLAGS='-DNDEBUG -O3' FC='ftn' --enable-static --disable-shared --prefix='/home/n02/n02/eike/work/Library/Dune' 
--disable-documentation --with-alugrid='/home/n02/n02/eike/work/Library/ALU' 
--with-superlu='/opt/cray/tpsl/1.2.00/GNU/46/interlagos' --with-superlu-lib='libsuperlu_gnu.a' 
--with-parmetis='/opt/cray/tpsl/1.2.00/GNU/46/interlagos/lib' --enable-parallel"
MAKE_FLAGS=

I haven't used the Cray compiler, though (maybe I should...). On HECToR I load these modules in my .bashrc file to use the 
installed SuperLU and PARMETIS installations (I'm not so sure why I load the xt-asyncpe at the moment):

module swap PrgEnv-cray PrgEnv-gnu
module load tpsl/1.2.00
module swap xt-asyncpe xt-asyncpe/5.06

Also, I have not recompiled DUNE since the downtime last week, actually it's a while since I rebuilt DUNE on that machine, but 
maybe the information in my config file is still useful.

Cheers,

Eike
