Build error with Intel's MPI

[PhilipVinc]

Hi

I'm trying to build MPI.jl on a small university cluster.
The cluster has MPI libraries from the Intel Compilers version 15. there is also gcc and clang installed.

I always get the same error while building gen_constants.f90, namely:

> CC=$(which icc) CXX=$(which icc) FC=$(which ifort) julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("MPI"); Pkg.build("MPI")'

This error happens also if I use the stock f95 compiler.
I'm not sure what the error is about.

It appears that the constant MPI_NO_OP is expected by Julia, but is not provided by the MPI library. You might need a newer version of the MPI library. I assume that this is defined in newer versions of the MPI standard, and your MPI library implements only an older version.

Alternatively, Julia could auto-detect whether this identifier is present, and if not, could disable the respective part of its interface.

Thanks.

I tried getting rid of the various definitions of MPI_NO_OP and it does work indeed.

Are there plans to make auto-detect the available features? I saw that in #39 there were some talks about it, but in the end nothing was brought forward...

I have versioned the constants in #271, so hopefully this immediate problem should be fixed. The functions aren't versioned though, nor is any of it actually tested.
