Standard F90 Library for Makefile

Question

Greetings Everyone,

Trying to compile using g++ and need to link the standard f90 (or f77 even) libraries for some fortran source codes in my Makefile. I cant find the name of it anywhere.

Makerfile:

products: SlowDynamic.exe

SlowDynamic.exe: main.o SA.o mersenne.o CFE.o BCs.o EMatrix.o Numbering.o KMatrix.o Solve.o MA_57.o blas.o MA_57_Depend.o Metis.o
    g++ -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -lgcc_s -lstdc++ -o SlowDynamic.exe main.o \
        SA.o mersenne.o CFE.o MA_57.o blas.o MA_57_Depend.o Metis.o\
        BCs.o EMatrix.o Numbering.o KMatrix.o Solve.o

main.o: main.cpp
    g++ -c -o main.o main.cpp

SA.o: SA.cpp
    g++ -c -o SA.o SA.cpp

mersenne.o: mersenne.cpp
    g++ -c -o mersenne.o mersenne.cpp

CFE.o: CFE.c
    gcc -c -o CFE.o CFE.c

MA_57.o: MA_57.f
    f77 -c -o MA_57.o MA_57.f

blas.o: blas.f
    f77 -c -o blas.o blas.f

MA_57_Depend.o: MA_57_Depend.f
    f77 -c -o MA_57_Depend.o MA_57_Depend.f

Metis.o: Metis.f
    f77 -c -o Metis.o Metis.f

BCs.o: BCs.c
    gcc -c -o BCs.o BCs.c

EMatrix.o: EMatrix.c
    gcc -c -o EMatrix.o EMatrix.c

Numbering.o: Numbering.c
    gcc -c -o Numbering.o Numbering.c

KMatrix.o: KMatrix.c
    gcc -c -o KMatrix.o KMatrix.c

Solve.o : Solve.c
    gcc -c -o Solve.o Solve.c

clean: 
    rm *.o Main.exe *.gpi

Answer 1

Finally fixed the solution with a mix of everyones advice.

Once I realised I was using SUN rather than GCC I switched to compiling with cc (gcc), CC (g++) and f95 (f77).

What solved the problem was pasting in the entire linker line from f77 verbose feedback (above in main post) and gradually deleting those parts that didn't contribute. In the end the following text was added:

-t -R/opt/SUNWspro/lib/sparc:/opt/SUNWspro/lib -Y P,/opt/SUNWspro/lib/sparc:/opt/SUNWspro/prod/lib/sparc:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/opt/SUNWspro/prod/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/lib:/usr/lib -lfui -lfai -lfai2 -lfsumai -lfprodai -lfminlai -lfmaxlai -lfminvai -lfmaxvai -lfsu -lsunmath -Bdynamic -lmtsk -lm -lc

Answer 2

What version of GCC are you using? The fortran compiler in GCC has changed completely over time (g77 vs gfortran) - so the correct answer is very dependent on exact versions. It's been a while since I needed to do this (and I used old g77 versions - so things may have changed) but I recall a couple of options at the time were:

• Try link using g77 and include library -lstdc++ (and possibly -lm?)
• Try link using g++ and include libraries -lg2c -lm (and possibly -lfrtbegin?)

If using newer gfortran then -lgfortran should work if linking with g++ and -lstdc++ if linking with gfortran.

You also want to make sure that the g++ and f77 commands in your makefile are running the commands that you expect them to be running (e.g. not accessing executables in unexpected directories or different/incompatible versions).

EDIT: From your recent edits to your question you appear to be trying to link the SUN compiler's f77 with the GCC g++. I don't think this is possible. Try using GCC's g77 or gfortran instead of SUN f77.

Answer 3

Raugnar,

I refer you to my answer to your previous question about unresolved symbols.

Just run:

f77 -v something.f

on a standalone Fortran90 program and the compiler will reveal exactly which support libraries are linked in by default.

Answer 4

Fortran doesn't have "standard libraries". It does have a lot of intrinsic functions, but they are part of the language, defined by the standard.

Answers to comments, since the comment field is a little too restrictive in regard to number of characters:

@Michael - Yes, you can say that. But, still, it is not the same as with other languages you are probably accustomed to. What I mean is this; when you compile and build a fortran program the compiler or linker does not require you to include libraries in the process. It is the compiler's internal thing. This goes for "standard" functions (intrinsics and such).

If you're using some outer functions or subroutines (for example, some plotting routines) then you need to include them separately.

But if you're using standard mathematical functions which are part of the language, then your job is finished. You write your program, and compile and build it. No need to know where or how those functions are implemented, where there implementations are stored and such. That's the compiler's job.
