We've loaded >HP-UX 11.i on the new HP machine (J5600) and we have f90 as our FORTRAN >compiler on it (since f77 wasn't provided with the new machine). >Has SSEC or UNIDATA done anything in regards to making and installing >McIDAS on HP-UX 11.0 or higher (i.e. 11.i)?? Unidata builds McIDAS 7.8x on HP-UX 11.0. We do not have any higher version of HP-UX in house. >Do either of you have an updated mcidas7.8.sh >script that will compile the McIDAS code w/ f90 instead of f77? The Unidata version of McIDAS does not use the mcidasN.M.sh approach for building the distribution. Unidata sites CD to the src directory and run make. >I was going >to go into the mcidas7.8.sh script and play around with setting the >"F_COMP=f90" instead of "F_COMP=f77", but I didn't want to go and make >changes if this work has already been done (why re-invent the wheel right?). Good thinking. >Also, I'm thinking there's more to it than just changing the FORTRAN >compiler from f77 to f90, but I wasn't sure, so that's why I ask. I think that there may be a way to run the f90 compiler in f77 mode. Check the man pages for f90/f77 on your box. >Any help >you could provide for me would be great, thanks!! Using HP-UX 11.i is the _bleeding_ edge I am afraid.
