<p>Although this section skips many details, it offers examples that will
probably work in many environments.</p>
<div class="admonition caution">
<p class="admonition-title">Caution</p>
<p>Note that this section is a “Quick start” — it does
not attempt to be comprehensive or describe how to build PMIx
in all supported environments. The examples below may therefore
not work exactly as shown in your environment.</p>
<p>Please consult the other sections in this chapter for more details,
if necessary.</p>
</div>
<p>PMIx provides a “wrapper” compiler (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">`pmixcc</span></code> &lt;man1-pmixcc&gt;`)that can be used for
compiling PMIx-based applications. The intent is that users can simply invoke the
PMIx wrapper compiler instead of their usual language compiler (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">gcc</span></code>).
For example, instead of invoking your usual C compiler to build your
application, use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pmixcc</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>shell$<span class="w"> </span>pmixcc<span class="w"> </span>hello_world_pmix.c<span class="w"> </span>-o<span class="w"> </span>hello_world_pmix
shell$
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>All the wrapper compiler does is add a variety of compiler and linker
flags to the command line and then invoke a back-end compiler. To be
specific: the wrapper compilers do not parse source code at all; they
are solely command-line manipulators, and have nothing to do with the
actual compilation or linking of programs. The end result is anI
executable that is properly linked to all the relevant libraries.</p>
<div class="admonition caution">
<p class="admonition-title">Caution</p>
<p>It is <em>absolutely not sufficient</em> to simply add <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-lpmix</span></code>
to your link line and assume that you will obtain a valid
PMIx executable.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>You should use the wrapper compiler provided by your higher-level
library instead of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pmix</span></code> if (a) your library provides a wrapper,
and (b) your library also uses PMIx (in which case, its wrapper
should not only include the necessary linkages, but also ensures
that your application and library are both using the <em>same</em> PMIx
library)</p>
