MPICH Patches & Enhancements

To use these patch files, download the file, place it in your mpich directory, and execute

patch -p0 < patchfile

It is important to download the patch, not cut and paste it from the display of your web browser. On many browsers, right-clicking will the link will download the file. The reason for this is that some patches may contain tabs, and most browsers will not preserve the tabs when they display the file; copying and pasting that text will cause the patch to fail because the tabs won't be found.

If you have trouble with patch, you can look at the patchfile itself; it is just the output of the Unix diff program applied to the old and new versions of the file or files.

A file containing the cummulative patches is available. This should be applied to an unmodified, fresh distribution. This is not throughly tested; in particular, files that have moved or are new may not be present after applying the patch.
