2.7   Tools

• Several tools are available with PVM
• In the directory pvm3/lib
• pvmgetarch returns the architecture of the current host
  
  May be used to initialize environment
  
  
• aimk, architecture independent make

  #       Make wrapper for multiple arch. builds.
  #
  #       Automatically sets PVM_ARCH and PVM_ROOT for make to use.
  #
  #       Action depends on makefile locations:
  #       1.  If $PVM_ARCH/Makefile or $PVM_ARCH/makefile exists,
  #               chdir to $PVM_ARCH and exec make there.
  #
  #       2.  Else if ./Makefile.aimk exists,
  #               chdir to $PVM_ARCH and exec make
  #               with -f $PVM_ROOT/conf/$PVM_ARCH.def
  #               and -f ../Makefile.aimk PVM_ARCH=$PVM_ARCH
  #
  #       3.  Else will simply exec make in cwd.
  #
  #       usage:
  #           aimk [-here] [-nomk] [ make args ... ]
