Charm++ parallel programming system

[Phil Miller <mille121 AT illinois.edu>]

When you ran this build command:
./build Tau mpi-crayxt pgcc pgf90 --tau-makefile=$TAU_MAKEFILE -O3
you told our scripts to build just the Tau tracing modules for Charm++
(the 'Tau' target).

You'll also need to actually build charm++ in that tree:
cd mpi-crayxt-pgf90-pgcc/tmp
make charm++

Phil

Appendix: The relevant snippet of our Makefile reads

Tau:
        echo "buliding charm trace library with support for TAU."
        $(MAKE) $(L)/libtrace-Tau.a $(L)/libtrace-all.a
TAU_TRACE_OBJ=libtrace-Tau.o
