while compiling cfs_atmos_fcst.fd i am getting belowed error plz suggest correct flags according to amd machine with intel2020 compiler

i am using this makefile

-warn interfaces

look up that option here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/fortran-compiler/developer-guide-reference/2025-2/warn.html

looks like a very old code doing some very bad things with argument passing. If you remove that option the errors will go away for the compilation but you may get runtime errors because of bad code.

This code is from Prithvi HPC from 2011, which compiled and ran with IBM compiler. Now I am compiling with intel-2020 compiler and facing these issues, so can you please suggest the compiler (oldest or fitted for code) to compile this source code?

This is a Makefile with intel 2020 which I am using -

EXEC = cfs_atmos_fcst_crm

F90 = mpiifort

# CRM dimensions
crm_nx = 25
crm_ny = 1
crm_nz = 60
crm_dx = 5000.
crm_dt = 10.

confstr = -DCRM_NX=$(crm_nx) -DCRM_NY=$(crm_ny) -DCRM_NZ=$(crm_nz) -DCRM_DX=$(crm_dx) -DCRM_DT=$(crm_dt) -DAIX -I.

Your code was developed it seems on an IBM compiler from twenty year back. What you need is a modern compiler that ignores the non conforming buggy code and makes whatever assumptions that the old IBM compiler did. Your options are a) fix the code b) find an old computer with an old Ibm compiler and stick with that for ever c) bin the code and find something else to do. These answers may seem a bit harsh but they are reality.
