pfxlocaltime

Compiling the code below, which calls pfxlocaltime, a POSIX extension, in both the main program and in the module, using just "ifort xtemp.f90",

module file_time_mod
implicit none
private
public :: foo
integer, private, parameter :: nia=9
contains
subroutine foo()
integer :: ierror,iatime(nia),isecnds
external pfxlocaltime
isecnds = 1
iatime = 0
call pfxlocaltime(isecnds,iatime,ierror)
print*,iatime
end subroutine foo
end module file_time_mod

program xpfx
use file_time_mod, only: foo
implicit none
integer, parameter :: nia = 9
integer :: i,isecnds,iatime(nia),ierror
isecnds = 1
iatime = 0
call pxflocaltime(isecnds,iatime,ierror)
print*,iatime
call foo()
end program xpfx

I get the error message

xtemp.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

If I remove the module and the call to foo(), the program compiles and runs without error. I don't see why the call to pfxlocaltime should work from the main program but not from the module.

If you stare at the two calls long enough, it will come to you. Perhaps a careful examination of the error message will also help.

I did look at the two calls before posting, but this time I finally see that I transposed letters. Sorry about that, Steve.
