Compile with Multiple INCLUDE files

[Thu_L_]

Hello,

I am trying to compile a main program (replica2.f90) with 5 INCLUDE files. Here are the commands I tried:

ifort -cpp mc_st.f90 molecules.f90 orientation.f90 forward_n1n1p1_rep.f90 reverse_n1n1p1_rep.f90
ifort replica2.f90

mc_st.f90 is my global variables file. The others are parts of separated subroutines called by the main program. I have successfully run this on my laptop with Microsoft Visual Studio, but it took forever to complete. I am trying to use a supercomputer to compile my code instead, but apparently it didn't work. Here are the error messages:

----------------------------------------------------------------

mc_st.f90, molecules.f90, orientation.f90, forward_n1n1p1_rep.f90, reverse_n1n1p1_rep.f90: error #5082: Syntax error, found END-OF-FILE when expecting one of: <LABEL> <END-OF-STATEMENT> ; BLOCK BLOCKDATA PROGRAM MODULE TYPE BYTE CHARACTER ...

DIMENSION :: e_new(3,natoms),q_new(3,ncgs),orient1(3,natoms),orient2(3,ncgs),di_ang_new(2),random(3)

........[Many other similar errors].......

----------------------------------------------------------------

It appears that:

1. The structures of all the INCLUDE files are wrong (I know for module, it starts with MODULE <name> and ends with END MODULE <name>, but I don't know the format for INCLUDE file).

2. My main program couldn't include the global variables file

3. I don't even know what "error #6591: An automatic object is invalid in a main program." means.

Could someone please help me with a correct (and preferably optimized) ifort command for my codes? I am really new to this.

Thank you!

For INCLUDE files you should not be naming them in your compile command. This may be the simplest part. If any of those files are named in INCLUDE statements, just leave them off the ifort command. You may not have noticed that Visual Studio didn't compile them separately. MODULE files do need to be compiled (and before any sources that USE those modules.)

-cpp is not a correct option. -fpp is to enable the preprocessor. -c means compile-only (no link).

Thank you very much. It works wonderfully. No more errors. Job is done in 15 sec.

But I have another dummy question: on my laptop, I get a couple of *.data output files. Now I only have an a.out file. Could you kindly tell me how to get my desired output files?

You have to run your program for it to produce output files, assuming that it is programmed to do that:

$ ./a.out
$ ls -l *.data

[Steven_L_Intel1]

a.out is the default name for an executable on Linux. If you want a different name you would specify it with the -o option, for example:

ifort -o myprog file1.f90 file2.f90
./myprog

Thank you very much. My program runs smoothly now. I appreciate your prompt reply!!!
