The following object files should be excluded: > ./fortran/jackets.o > ./ncdump/dumplib.o > ./ncdump/ncdump.o > ./ncdump/vardata.o > ./ncgen/close.o > ./ncgen/escapes.o > ./ncgen/genlib.o > ./ncgen/getfill.o > ./ncgen/init.o > ./ncgen/load.o > ./ncgen/main.o > ./ncgen/ncgentab.o Thanks for reporting this. We'll have it fixed soon. > 2. The file INSTALL should mention: > > (a) How to build & test system without FORTRAN. (This could be made a > little simpler if all you had to do was specify FC=''. Also it would be > nice if this happened automatically on system which did not have any > FORTRAN.) Note that test of ncgen includes FORTRAN test for -f option. > > (b) Default for -prefix is ../.. (relative to subdirectory e.g. libsrc > i.e. .. relative to src) I'll have Steve look at this to see if there's an easy fix; if not, we'll have to wait until Glenn gets back in February. --Russ
