I had thought about gmake. The gmake manual is intimdating. It is easy to modify something that is generated and works. Creating the makefile from scratch is something else. I also assumed that I needed to supply parameters to the veraious steps. Your suggested sequence was so simple that it was worth it to see what it would do. The problem is that the main program overwhelms the table and kills the build on the first module and continues on. The message I get is that I have to supply -Nn802 to f77 for the main program. I don't think it would matter if the table was extended for all of the modules. I didn't capture the output; however, the defaults appear to work for everything else. The other thing is that this process isn't generating object output and it takes about 45 minutes to compile everything. That becomes a serious problem because it recompiles everything, everytime. A make generator should create something that looks like stuff ... main.o : main.f f77 -? main.f link1.o : link1.f f77 -? link1.f and etc. for all of the functions and subroutines. This depends on a ".o" being created for each compiled module, which reduces the recompiles to the changed module. I haven't seen an object file. The basic process is complicated because f77 isn't a real compiler. It calls f2c which takes the FORTRAN code and produces c code. Then, it compiles the c code with gcc. A simple compile and make with f77 produces nothing but the a.out. I am really trying to make this program run on a PC where I have to cope with 32 bit floats and integers instead of 64 bit - everythings. Unicos and CFT77 (Cray) and FreeBSD and f77 only appear to have common roots. A much older version runs on a Sun box and this newer version would be nice.
