scalapack @2.02+gcc9+openmpi+openblas: error: expected expression before '_Static_assert'

I'm try to install scalapack but the code is failing to compile. This is on Mojave 10.14.5. Here's the port log:

Log file for build of scalapack@2.0.2 on Mojave

[lazersos (Samuel Lazerson)]

Well I think I found the problem and it's really related to BLACS. I downloaded the Scalapack sources and tried to compile manually. I found that the issue was linked to preprocessor directives when compiling the BLACS portion of the code. In order to get it to work I had to change a line in the SLmake.inc file. Specifically from

TRANSCOMM = -DUseMpi2

to

TRANSCOMM = -DUseMpi3

I suspect this whole issue is really related to attempting to compile the BLACS portion of the software with MPI4.0. Since that's the standard that's loaded with openMPI now. Also this issue seems to affect gcc8 as well. Thus is real issue is the use of the MPI 4 standard now in OpenMPI. Should be a quick fix as only the SLmake.inc file needs to be updated but I'm not sure how to go about doing that as it requires changes to the distribution sources rather than the portfile.

Hi, I also tried the same (download the original source code and compile by hand). I think you're right. The compilation breaks when compiling BLACS. However, I could implement your fix because I could not find where to place the TRANSCOMM option.

Did you just include a new line in SLMake.inc?

Which version of scalapak did you download? 2.0.2?

Yes I just modified the SLMake.inc file.

[lazersos (Samuel Lazerson)]

Still an issue with 2.6.2

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

It's unlikely that MacPorts base is responsible for the problem so it's unlikely that any update of MacPorts base would fix it. More likely an update of scalapack or its dependencies would fix it. Do you still see the problem with scalapack @2.1.0?

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

Samuel, is this still an issue?

[lazersos (Samuel Lazerson)]

No longer an issue.
