20000502: more on GEMPAK build failure on Solaris 8 x86

Robert,

Its possible that "make clean" isn't clearing everything out of the
directory, so that "make" assumes some things are already built.
It appears that the compiler isn't being invoked because the archive
members in vc.a exist- but the library catalog may be corrupted.

Try this:

cd $GEMLIB
rm vc.a

cd $GEMPAKHOME/source/driver/active/vc
make clean

(check to make sure that all the .o files and vc are removed).
There seems to be an old GEMLINUX.h link in the directory here that isn't
used any more- you can remove that. Everything left in there should be
.c, .f, .cmn and Makefiles.

At this point you should be able to build the vc library and driver-

make all

( you should see the f77 and cc invocations)

If this fails, then there is really something wierd going on...
though you really don't need the vc driver and you can
delete it from the $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc.common DEVLIST
definition.

Let me know what you find.
