Ive been trying to setup mpich2 to compile some programs using MPI on windows 7. The problem that I encounter is that it wont create the binary files when I build a project. I use the stadard mpi program to test (hello world) and I get this message after building it:

13:33:29 ** Rebuild of configuration Debug for project mpitest ** Info: Internal Builder is used for build mpiCC "-IC:\MPICH2\include"

-O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -o "src\mpitest.o" "..\src\mpitest.c"

The Open MPI wrapper compiler was unable to find the specified compiler cl.exe in your PATH.

Note that this compiler was either specified at configure time or in one of several possible environment variables.

13:33:29 Build Finished (took 78ms)

I tried to search for cl.exe but it doesn't exist. I have to say that I also installed openMPI but I didn't use it cause the cluster that I am gonna target run the program is using MPICH2. I have already installed 32bit minGW, 32bit MPICH2 and 32bit openMPI. Is it normal to not create binaries since i run the .c file in the cluster? If its normal how am i going to check if the program is ok even for 1 process? Thanks in advance! Cheers!

I found the answer by luck... In the project preferences, select C/C++ build-> Tool Chain editor-> choose cygwin and its done. For some reason i had mingw in that option and wouldnt create binaries, i suppose it needs some other tools that can be found only in the cygwin and not mingw... Still trying to set it and run on the cluster... so many options :/
