Building with OpenMP support in OE fails on #include <omp.h>

Building with OpenMP support in OE fails on #include <omp.h>

[Mike Looijmans]

Here's the problem, running in a devshell:

# echo '#include <omp.h>' > /tmp/compileme.c
# $CC -c -fopenmp /tmp/compileme.c
/tmp/compileme.c:1:17: fatal error: omp.h: No such file or directory
  #include <omp.h>
                  ^
compilation terminated.


The #pragma's and linking of OpenMP work just fine, it's just the inclusion of 
omp.h that appears to fail.

What I was actually trying to do is to activate OpenMP in OpenCV to get decent 
performance on a multicore ARM system. But this is holding me back now.

Looking in the sysroots reveals that the include file is actually there:

$ find tmp-glibc/sysroots/topic-miami-florida-med-xc7z030 -name omp.h
tmp-glibc/sysroots/topic-miami-florida-med-xc7z030/usr/lib/gcc/arm-oe-linux-gnueabi/4.9.1/include/omp.h


Maybe something missing in the OE compiler options for the compiler?

Funnily enough this is an issue I fixed a few weeks ago - here's the bug which 
contains a link to the fix:

Cheers,

Ah okay, I'll upgrade to current master and retest.

If it works, I'll post the patch to make opencv build with openmp.

Hmm, OpenCV now builds fine with OpenMP support for my dual-core ARM system, I 
can also see that it now links to libgomp, but apparently it doesn't actually 
use any OpenMP threading, as none of the filters I've tried ever uses more 
than one thread to process the image data. So I guess actually activating 
OpenMP is just a pointless waste. But for those willing to try, just add this 
line to the opencv recipe:

EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DWITH_OPENMP=ON"
