How to compile such a big project?

[luchj]

Here is a makefile for a big project. It is build under Unix OS. When I insert all the files into one project in Compaq Visual Fortran environment, I failed to get a executable file. I will appreciate your any suggestions.

you are welcome to reply to my email address: luchj@isu.edu

Regards.

..... I shortened the makefile due to the limitation given by the message box.

There are significant differences between makeing an
executable in unix and making an executable on a windows PC with CVF. Unless you design a makefile to be platform independent, it should not be expected to work on both platforms.

Among the differences are the expected suffixes of various file types (unix objecte are ".o", windows
uses ".obj"), case dependencies (unix cares, windows
doesn't), and commands for linking and making libraries ( ld/link, ar/lib).

You did not say from which unix you are porting. The versions i know use ln for linking file references, not for linking objects into an executable.

If you are not familiar with creating executables, you should look at the cvs manuals you received with the compiler or the copies of manuals available online at http://h18009.www1.hp.com/fortran/docs/.

Windows linkers are able to link .o files, although the Microsoft link gives a vociferous warning for each file. The makefile does have to be converted, at least to nmake format, unless you are willing to use a posix style emulation and work from the command line. Even then, you have small conversions, which aren't automatic. If you wish to make .o files, you need Makefile rules which rename the .obj files to .o automatically.

It's not clear to me what you did. While the makefile you posted references .o files, I am assuming that it was the Fortran source files that you inserted in your project. I hope.

What error messages resulted from the build attempt?
