.. _spack-compiler-find:

``spack compiler find``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you do not see a compiler in this list, but you want to use it with
Spack, you can simply run ``spack compiler find`` with the path to
-where the compiler is installed. For example::
+where the compiler is installed. For example:
+
+.. code-block:: console
- $ spack compiler find /usr/local/tools/ic-13.0.079
- ==> Added 1 new compiler to /Users/gamblin2/.spack/compilers.yaml

+ $ spack compiler find /usr/local/tools/ic-13.0.079
+ ==> Added 1 new compiler to /Users/gamblin2/.spack/compilers.yaml
+ intel@13.0.079
Or you can run ``spack compiler find`` with no arguments to force
auto-detection. This is useful if you do not know where compilers are
installed, but you know that new compilers have been added to your
-``PATH``. For example, using dotkit, you might do this::
+``PATH``. For example, using dotkit, you might do this:
+
+.. code-block:: console
- $ module load gcc-4.9.0
- $ spack compiler find
- ==> Added 1 new compiler to /Users/gamblin2/.spack/compilers.yaml
- gcc@4.9.0
+ $ module load gcc-4.9.0
+ $ spack compiler find
+ ==> Added 1 new compiler to /Users/gamblin2/.spack/compilers.yaml

This loads the environment module for gcc-4.9.0 to add it to
``PATH``, and then it adds the compiler to Spack.

Writing the Spack Package

+-------------------------
Now that you have a CMake build, you want to tell Spack how to
configure it. This is done by writing a Spack package for your
software. See here for example:

You need to subclass ``CMakePackage``, as is done in this example.
This enables advanced features of Spack for helping you in configuring
your software (keep reading...). Instead of an ``install()`` method
used when subclassing ``Package``, you write ``configure_args()``.

Spack is designed so that it could live within a `standard UNIX
directory hierarchy <http://linux.die.net/man/7/hier>`_, so ``lib``,
``var``, and ``opt`` all contain a ``spack`` subdirectory in case
Spack is installed alongside other software. Most of the interesting

This is a high-level overview of features that make Spack different
from other `package managers

systems <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ports_collection>`_.

Simple package installation
-----------------------------
+---------------------------
Installing the default version of a package is simple. This will install
the latest version of the ``mpileaks`` package and all of its dependencies:
-.. code-block:: sh
+.. code-block:: console
$ spack install mpileaks
+--------------------------------
Custom versions & configurations

+--------------------------------
Spack allows installation to be customized. Users can specify the
version, build compiler, compile-time options, and cross-compile
platform, all on the command line.

Customize dependencies
--------------------------------------
+----------------------
Spack allows *dependencies* of a particular installation to be
customized extensively. Suppose that ``mpileaks`` depends indirectly
on ``libelf`` and ``libdwarf``. Using ``^``, users can add custom
configurations for the dependencies:
-.. code-block:: sh
+.. code-block:: console
# Install mpileaks and link it with specific versions of libelf and libdwarf
$ spack install mpileaks@1.1.2 %gcc@4.7.3 +debug ^libelf@0.8.12 ^libdwarf@20130729+debug

Non-destructive installs
--------------------------------------
+------------------------
Spack installs every unique package/dependency configuration into its
own prefix, so new installs will not break existing ones.
+-------------------------------
Packages can peacefully coexist
--------------------------------------
+-------------------------------
Spack avoids library misconfiguration by using ``RPATH`` to link
dependencies. When a user links a library or runs a program, it is
tied to the dependencies it was built with, so there is no need to
manipulate ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` at runtime.

Handling RPATHs
-----------------------------

Spack installs each package in a way that ensures that all of its
dependencies are found when it runs. It does this using `RPATHs
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpath>`_. An RPATH is a search
path, stored in a binary (an executable or library), that tells the
dynamic loader where to find its dependencies at runtime. You may be

RPATHs in Spack are handled in one of three ways:
- 1. For most packages, RPATHs are handled automatically using Spack's
- :ref:`compiler wrappers <compiler-wrappers>`. These wrappers are
- set in standard variables like ``CC``, ``CXX``, and ``FC``, so
- most build systems (autotools and many gmake systems) pick them
- up and use them.
- 2. CMake also respects Spack's compiler wrappers, but many CMake
- builds have logic to overwrite RPATHs when binaries are
