How does your configuration look like? Libtool does not have native F95 (FC) support yet (might change in the near future), so do you use F77=f95 or do you use both f77 and f95 in your package? > It is trying to compile f77 code with f95 (which will work just fine), > but libtool is complaining because it doesn't have the tag=f77 > argument. > > Is there a way to put this argument in Makefile.am? Yes. Depending on the answer above, you won't have to, though. > I am using the latest libtool distribution: 1.5.18, and reasonably > recent versions of autoconf and automake. Weird. Recent Automake versions do issue the tag automatically. How do you specify the build of nf_test in Makefile.am? > Please tell me I haven't done all this libtool conversion for > nothing.

Does it build if you manually issue /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link --tag=F77 f95 -g -L../libsrc -o nf_test test_get.o test_put.o nf_error.o nf_test.o test_read.o test_write.o util.o fortlib.o -lnetcdf -lm ? Assuming libnetcdf is a library within the same package, and built with use of Libtool, you should write /bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link --tag=F77 f95 -g -o nf_test test_get.o test_put.o nf_error.o nf_test.o test_read.o test_write.o util.o fortlib.o ../libsrc/libnetcdf.la -lm instead (put ../libsrc/libnetcdf.la in LDADD or *_LDADD for Automake). For test programs that may not matter so much, but programs installed alongside your library will work right then.
