Re: [Starpu-devel] Weird error with HWLOC

["Hoque, Reazul" <rhoque@vols.utk.edu>]

Hi Samuel,

Thank you for your response. I suspect that is what happened. I successfully installed StarPU today. I complained about the help message, to add a little more details to that, when hwloc is not found, StarPU gives a message to the user and that is much appreciated, but it states to use --without-hwloc if the user intends to use StarPU without hwloc. User can find the same option in ./configure --help, I think it would be really helpful to include --with-hwloc in the error message instead/with the --without-hwloc option.

Thank you,

Reazul

Uh, that can explain everything indeed!
