Dear Daniel and other users, As I can see the h2pas present on the Lazarus can make a good job converting the h files into the pas files. Also on the Lazarus home page there is some examples on using it with the MPICH 2. ( http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Creating_bindings_for_C_libraries) Does anybody tried something similar?? Like convert the h files present on the C:\Program Files\MPICH2\include, for instance??

 

Thanks

I have taken a look at this some time ago. h2pas did a reasonably good job
at the mpi.h file, some problems with macros. A hello world style of mpi
application went okay, however, the generated mpi.pas needs
correctness auditing.

Problematic is the very poor job the openmpi team does at binary backwards
compatibility, applications broke between 1.0 and 1.1, and again between
1.1 and 1.2. With such breakage, it is next to impossible to maintain an
mpi.pas.

Lazarus isn't a Pascal compiler, but an IDE.
