PVM/ICM(Sept. 1995)

NAME
pvmmc - Compile and distribute maxima files (in CL) for PVM task on all specified hosts

SYNOPSIS
pvmmc [ -U compiler ] [ -H hostfile ] file.lsp ...

DESCRIPTION
Given a set of maxima source files written in Common Lisp, pvmmc compiles them for your entire virtual machine by generating the corresponding .o files on each host specified in a given hostfile. This is done by compiling once on each different architecture and distributing to all specified hosts. The compiler to use is mc or given by the -U option. If hostfile is not given, then the file "hostfile" in the current directory or in $HOME/pvm3, in that order, is used. For example,
pvmmc maxima-hello.lsp maxima-hello_other.lsp A file argument for pvmmc must remain valid when used on another host in your pvm. If pvmmc is used from a working directory under your home directory and the files are given relative to the working directory, they will be fine. Typically, a user uses pvmmc in $Home/pvm3 or a subdirectory.
