Re: possible bug in 3.79.1 on irix6.5 ? works okay with IBM power4, same version of gmake

[Nils Wedi]

Paul,

  thanks very much for your reply. I am sorry I did not send you the
correct dependencies that were used on each machine.It seems infact that
gmake is *NOT* case sensitive. The precise dependencies on IRIX were

yomobset.o YOMOBSET.mod: yomobset.F90
ecset.o: YOMOBSET.mod

The files created by the compiler are YOMOBSET.mod and yomobset.o
(stupid, I know).

gmake, as you correctly hinted works okay on IRIX if I change the rules
to lowercase

yomobset.o yomobset.mod: yomobset.F90
ecset.o: yomobset.mod

However, this is problematic since the filenames of the result do not
correspond and if like in our case we sometimes want to use pre-compiled
modules (which have uppercase names). So for gmake to work with
appropriate time-stamps we would need to make always two versions of the
modules, an uppercase one for the compiler and a lowercase one for
gmake. The other option, since I can't seem to tell the compiler to
create lowercase modules, would be to change gmake to understand
uppercase rules, is there an option or switch that I need to put ?


For information, the following is from the f90 compiler manual on IRIX
if used to create make rules:

     When file is specified, file is updated during compilation
     to contain header, library, and run-time make(1)
     dependencies for the output file.

     For example, assume that file foo.f90 contains the following
     two lines:

                    INCLUDE "bar.h"
                    USE mod

     The updated file will contain a line similar to the
     following:

                    foo.o : bar.h MOD.mod



Best Regards,

Nils
