The latest PVM release 3.4.5 is mainly bug fixes and additional
support for varying Linux distributions and some better 64-bit
Linux/AMD support (like it doesn't seg fauly any more :-).
Added strerror() support instead of old crusty global vars.
New architectures were added for AIX5*. Fixed hilarious bug
in pvmtmpnam(), caused crash after 10,000 spawns... :-D
While there's a variety of little tweaks, there are no significant
changes or additions to the basic functionality.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
for packages such as p5-Parallel-Pvm on some archs since that package
creates a shared object. Should fix lossage seen on amd64 bulk
builds. Both packages which use pvm3 have been tested and still work.
says to use type time_t for ctime(3).
- Fix some format strings for 64 bit systems.
- use '?=' instead of '='when setting the command used for rsh/ssh so the
user can set it in mk.conf (PVM_SSH).
you can do something like:
make CC="gcc -pipe" PKG_FC="f77 -pipe" CFLAGS="-Wformat -g" FFLAGS="-g"
and still have pvm compile correctly.

of the individual source files making a summary difficult. Of note though is
they have incorporated quite a number of the patches from our 3.4.2 package
hence the removal of 22 (!) patches.
-Add USE_FORTRAN to the package Makefile for correct handling of the
required fortran compiler.
-Fix the .m4 files which control how fortran symbols are handled.
-Rework package to use a different PVM_ARCH for each MACHINE_ARCH. As
opposed to a single PVM_ARCH. This addresses PR pkg/6890 (Thanks to
Ignatios Souvatzis for the PR).
-Rework package to install missing programs including: pvmgetarch, aimk
debugger, debugger2, and the configuration stubs (*.def, *.m4). This
address part of PR pkg/6924 (Thanks to Ignatios Souvatzis for the PR).
-Rework package to maintain the normal pvm3 directory layout so that only
one variable (PVM_ROOT) has to be set to a non-traditional value. This
address the remainder of PR pkg/6924 (Thanks again Ig!).
