Comment (by smasson@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 eborisch@…]:
 > If you were using mpich2, I would say use 'port install mpich2 +gcc45'
 and then 'port install hdf5-18 +mpich2'; hdf5-18 now uses the selected
 mpi's wrappers, which, at least in mpich2's case, means that gcc45's CC,
 CXX, and fortran compilers will be used for compiling hdf5-18.

 People told me that openmpi was more popular that mpich2. So I use
 openmpi. I could try to switch to mpich2...

 > The openmpi port currently uses only the fortran compiler from the
 requested +gccNN variant. If you would like that behavior to change,
 please file a separate ticket.  For these scientific packages, in my
 opinion, if the user is requesting a particular +gccNN variant, they are
 probably expecting/desiring that compiler's CC,CXX, and F90 to be used for
 everything (not just fortran), but that's just my point of view...

 I agree with your point. I will put another ticket.

 > Installing 'openmpi +gcc45' and then 'hdf5-18 +openmpi' will likely
 still work, but I haven't tried it myself.
