and is something wrong when i run hpxcxx, it's telling me: "Cannot locate HPX"?
<nikunj>
hkaiser: yt?
<hkaiser>
nikunj: here
<nikunj>
hkaiser: see pm please
<hkaiser>
tarzeau: what do those problems mean?
<tarzeau>
there's no manual pages for hpxcxx and hpxrun and the four hpx_* python scripts
<hkaiser>
tarzeau: and I don't know anything about hpxcxx
<tarzeau>
what do people do with hpx, just use hpxrun ? i should probably have a close look at the redhat/fedora hpx packaging, the freebsd one and the spack one
<hkaiser>
tarzeau: I meant, the file you linked doesn't really explain what the problems are
<tarzeau>
true, they're probably too much debian specific, except the rpath defines. i've only seen cmake configuration allows relative and absolute rpaths
<hkaiser>
tarzeau: hpxrun is just a helper script simplifying distributed runs, it's not absolutely necessary, we use it for our testing infrastructure, however
<tarzeau>
so basically hpx is just a library your own programs link against
<hkaiser>
yes
<tarzeau>
and it can be used with slurm together
<hkaiser>
yes
<hkaiser>
it picks up environment setting if run using slurm (same for other batch systems, btw)
<tarzeau>
is condorht supported too?
<hkaiser>
no
<hkaiser>
hpx is currently targetting tightly coupled distributed applications (similar to MPI style apps)
<hkaiser>
tarzeau: gtg now, sorry - let's talk later
<tarzeau>
tomorrow
<tarzeau>
thanks
<hkaiser>
tarzeau: heller or simbergm can help for sure

tarzeau: we don't have condor integration, do you have a usecase for that? should be perfectly doable though
<heller>
tarzeau: hpxcc is just a wrapper script that calls pkgcfg to add the necessary flags etc.
<heller>
the other hpx_ python scripts should probably be not installed in the first place
<heller>
hpxrun is a very useful utility to run HPX distributed on a single node for testing purposes. We extended it to slurm to ease our testing setup
<heller>
hkaiser: appear.in?
<hkaiser>
heller: ok, sec

heller: not at all, we've moved to slurm (had condor 10 years ago, then torque)
<tarzeau>
heller: so i'll keep hpxcc/hpxrun but drop the python scripts (i also turned off building examples, what is your opinion on that?)
<hkaiser>
tarzeau: no reason not to drop the examples, they are not needed
