Hi,
The openmpi package version 3.1.2 no longer contains the mpicxx compiler
wrapper, which is present in 3.1.1 package. In the package update
announcement this is explicitly mentioned:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2018-09/msg00099.html
as being depreciated. I know that the C++ bindings for MPI have certainly
been depreciated, but the mpicxx wrapper itself is not; there are lots of
C++ programs that use MPI by using the C bindings. Certainly this was the
reason that was given for not removing mpicxx when someone suggested it:
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/1686
Would it be possible to reinstate the mpicxx wrapper?
Many thanks,
Andy
