If your system lacks /usr/include/local.h ,
then you should create an appropriate local.h in
this directory. An appropriate local.h may simply
be empty, or it may #define VAX or #define CRAY
(or whatever else you must do to make fp.h work right).
Alternatively, edit fp.h to suite your machine.
If your system lacks /usr/include/fcntl.h , then you
should simply create an empty fcntl.h in this directory.
If your system's sprintf does not work the way ANSI C
specifies -- specifically, if it does not return the
number of characters transmitted -- then insert the line
#define USE_STRLEN
at the end of fmt.h . This is necessary with
at least some versions of Sun software.
If your system's fopen does not like the ANSI binary
reading and writing modes "rb" and "wb", then you should
compile open.c with NON_ANSI_RW_MODES #defined.
If you get error messages about references to cf->_ptr
and cf->_base when compiling wrtfmt.c and wsfe.c or to
stderr->_flag when compiling err.c, then insert the line
#define NON_UNIX_STDIO
at the beginning of fio.h, and recompile these modules.
You may need to supply the following non-ANSI routines:
fstat(int fileds, struct stat *buf) is similar
to stat(char *name, struct stat *buf), except that
the first argument, fileds, is the file descriptor
returned by open rather than the name of the file.
fstat is used in the system-dependent routine
canseek (in the libI77 source file err.c), which
is supposed to return 1 if it's possible to issue
seeks on the file in question, 0 if it's not; you may
need to suitably modify err.c . On non-UNIX systems,
you can avoid references to fstat and stat by compiling
err.c, inquire.c, open.c, and util.c with MSDOS defined;
in that case, you may need to supply access(char *Name,0),
which is supposed to return 0 if file Name exists,
nonzero otherwise.
char * mktemp(char *buf) is supposed to replace the
6 trailing X's in buf with a unique number and then
return buf. The idea is to get a unique name for
a temporary file.
On non-UNIX systems, you may need to change a few other,
e.g.: the form of name computed by mktemp() in endfile.c and
open.c; the use of the open(), close(), and creat() system
calls in endfile.c, err.c, open.c; and the modes in calls on
fopen() and fdopen() (and perhaps the use of fdopen() itself
-- it's supposed to return a FILE* corresponding to a given
an integer file descriptor) in err.c and open.c (component ufmt
of struct unit is 1 for formatted I/O -- text mode on some systems
-- and 0 for unformatted I/O -- binary mode on some systems).
For Turbo C++, in particular, you need to adjust the mktemp
invocations and should compile all of libI77 with -DMSDOS .
You also need to #undef ungetc in lread.c and rsne.c .
Don't use -mh -- it is horribly broken.
If you want to be able to load against libI77 but not libF77,
then you will need to add sig_die.o (from libF77) to libI77.
If you wish to use translated Fortran that has funny notions
of record length for direct unformatted I/O (i.e., that assumes
RECL= values in OPEN statements are not bytes but rather counts
of some other units -- e.g., 4-character words for VMS), then you
should insert an appropriate #define for url_Adjust at the
beginning of open.c . For VMS Fortran, for example,
#define url_Adjust(x) x *= 4
would suffice.
To check for transmission errors, issue the command
make check
This assumes you have the xsum program whose source, xsum.c,
is distributed as part of "all from f2c/src". If you do not
have xsum, you can obtain xsum.c by sending the following E-mail
message to netlib@research.att.com
send xsum.c from f2c/src
The makefile assumes you have installed f2c.h in a standard
place (and does not cause recompilation when f2c.h is changed);
f2c.h comes with "all from f2c" (the source for f2c) and is
available separately ("f2c.h from f2c").
