- F2C for MPW
-
- This is the initial public release of F2C for MPW. F2C for MPW is 68K/PPC native tool
- that will let you use F2C in conjunction with MPW and a C compiler to compile FORTRAN
- code. Please refer to the documentation for further information. This distribution
- includes 3 tools F2C, F2CPPC, and F2C68K which are the "FAT", PowerPC, and 68K versions
- of the tool. You will need MPW 3.4 to run the PowerPC native versions. Earlier versions
- of MPW will not recognize the PowerPC code. If you are using Metrowerks, this version
- is somewhere on the distribution CD. There has been very little testing of the 68K version
- so let me know how it works and proceed with caution.
-
- Please note that very few modifications have been made to the original code found
- at the ftp site netlib.att.com. While this version works, it has only been under
- development for about 2 weeks, so there has been little testing. I have tested it
- on my FORTRAN source running on a PowerMac 7100/80. Please let me know if you have
- any trouble or success on other machines.
-
- This is all that is need to run F2C for MPW.
-
- Libraries:
-
- The libraries libI77 and libF77 are special versions of the ones that come with
- the stand-alone application that let you create MPW tools. They were made my simply
- setting the "MPW Newlines" option and forcing the project to use the universal headers.
- Currently only the PowerMac version has been included since there has been NO testing
- on the 68K version of the libraries.
-
- Installation:
-
- 1) Copy the items in "Put in Tools" to the "Tools" folder in the MPW directory.
- 2) Copy the "F2CLibraries" folder to the "Libraries" folder in the MPW directory.
- 3) Copy the F2CExamples to the "Examples" folder in the MPW directory.
- 4) Copy the UserStartup.F2C to the MPW directory.
- 5) Build the test program (see F2CExamples below)
-
- F2CExamles:
-
- This is simple test tool that exercises the io of the libraries. The make file will
- create an MPW tool called 'test' that you can then run.
-
- #To build the tool type:
- BuildProgram test
-
- #To run the tool type:
- test
-
- Please look in the make file for examples on how to handle the common blocks within your
- FORTRAN code. It's not pretty but it solves the problem!
-
-
- Final Word:
-
- If you use F2C for MPW please let me know of your results. If you find bugs, please tell
- me about them and then tell me you work around if you found one. I don't have much time to
- work on this but I would like to make F2C for MPW as stable and useful as possible.
-
- Good Luck
