Howdy all! I compile fortran code on a bunch of platforms. Most f90 compilers seem to support compiling F77 code, so I thought, in configure.ac, I could just use:
AC_PROG_FC But when I do an autoreconf, I get the following automake error: nf_test/Makefile.am: Preprocessed Fortran 77 source seen but `F77' is undefined nf_test/Makefile.am: nf_test/Makefile.am: The usual way to define `F77' is to add `AC_PROG_F77' nf_test/Makefile.am: to `configure.ac' and run `autoconf' again. autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1 I suspect that's because the files in nf_test are *.F files, instead of *.F90 files. Is there any way to just tell autoconf to use the FC compiler for everything? Otherwise I have to also call AC_PROG_F77, and then there are issues because they might find different compilers. I also have a firm requirement that commercial compilers are to be prefered to GNU. Of course, everything would be much easier if gcc was used everywhere, because then I wouldn't have to mess with compilers from Sun, AIX, Irix, Intel, etc. But that's the way the cookie crumbles. In fact, what I end up doing is this: AC_PROG_F77([mpxlf_r xlf f95 fort xlf95 ifort ifc efc pgf95 lf95 gfortran frt pgf77 f77 fort77 fl32 af77 f90 xlf90 pgf90 epcf90 g77]) AC_PROG_FC([mpxlf_r xlf90 f95 fort xlf95 ifort ifc efc pgf95 lf95 gfortran frt pgf77 f77 fort77 fl32 af77 f90 xlf90 pgf90 epcf90 g77]) If I were Harry Potter, I would wave a magic wand, and make AC_PROG_FC do everything, including telling me somehow whether it can handle F90 code. Is there a better way? Or is it required that I have AC_PROG_F77 and AC_PROG_FC? Thanks! Ed -- Ed Hartnett -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
