#2553: Cactus' link command uses CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS
Reporter: Roland Haas Status: open Milestone: Version: development version Type: bug Priority: minor Component: Cactus
Comment (by Roland Haas):
Removing CXXFLAGS and CPPFLAGS from the LD line leads to link time failures about `GOMP_parallel` not being found. Adding `LD_OPENMP_FLAGS = -fopenmp` does not help since that variable is not used. The only `X_OPENMP_FLAGS` variables in configure are:
``` lib/make/configure:F77_OPENMP_FLAGS="$F90_OPENMP_FLAGS" lib/make/configure:s%@CPP_OPENMP_FLAGS@%$CPP_OPENMP_FLAGS%g lib/make/configure:s%@FPP_OPENMP_FLAGS@%$FPP_OPENMP_FLAGS%g lib/make/configure:s%@C_OPENMP_FLAGS@%$C_OPENMP_FLAGS%g lib/make/configure:s%@CXX_OPENMP_FLAGS@%$CXX_OPENMP_FLAGS%g lib/make/configure:s%@CUCC_OPENMP_FLAGS@%$CUCC_OPENMP_FLAGS%g lib/make/configure:s%@F90_OPENMP_FLAGS@%$F90_OPENMP_FLAGS%g lib/make/configure:s%@F77_OPENMP_FLAGS@%$F77_OPENMP_FLAGS%g ```
So one first needs to define a new variable `LD_OPENMP_FLAGS` then make sure it gets added to `LDFLAGS` and then one can remove `CXXFLAGS`. Probably also a good idea to set `LD_OPENMP_FLAGS` to the same default as `CXX_OPENMP_FLAGS` in `lib/make/known-architectures/linux`
If one wants to preserve backwards compatibility then one also needs to default `LD_OPENMP_FLAGS` to `CXX_OPENMP_FLAGS`.
