NAME
      mpiCC -  Compiles and links MPI programs written in C++

 DESCRIPTION
      This command can be used to compile and link MPI programs written in
      C++.  It provides the options and any special libraries that are
      needed to compile and link MPI programs.

      It is important to use this command (or a Makefile processed with
      mpireconfig ) particularly when linking programs, as it provides the
      necessary libraries.  It can also simplify the use of the MPE
      profiling libraries, through the use of the -mpilog , -mpitrace , and
      -mpianim commands.

      mpiCC cannot be used to compile C programs.  Use mpicc for C programs.


 COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
      -mpilog
           - Build version that generate MPE log files
      -mpitrace
           - Build version that generates traces
      -mpianim
           - Build version that generates real-time animation
      -show
           - Show the commands that would be used without runnning them
      -help
           - Give short help
      -echo
           - Show exactly what this program is doing.  This option should
           normally not be used.
      others
           - are passed to the compiler or linker.  For example, -c causes
           files to be compiled, -g selects compilation with debugging on
           most systems, and -o name causes linking with the output
           executable given the name name .



 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
      The environment variables MPICH_CCC and MPICH_CCLINKER may be used to
      select different C++ compiler and linker.  Note that since MPICH is
      built with a particular C++ and C compiler, change the compilers used
      can cause problems.  Use this only if you could intermix code compiled
      with the different compilers.


 EXAMPLES
      To compile a single file foo.c , use



      mpicc -c foo.c


      To link the output and make an executable, use
      mpicc -o foo foo.o

      Combining compilation and linking in a single command
      mpicc -o foo foo.c

      is a convenient way to build simple programs.
