Will the following tradeoff be acceptable to everyone?

* We allow users to specify a Fortran compiler using “FC” and “FCFLAGS”. This will result in a wrapper called “mpifort”.

* We’ll maintain mpif90 as a symbolic link to mpifort for backward compatibility.

* If no separate F77 compiler is specified, we’ll use FC as the F77 compiler as well. In this case, mpif77 will be a symbolic link to mpifort.

* But users have the ability to provide a separate F77 compiler, in which case a new mpif77 is created.

This way, we can still support compilers that have a different F77 compiler. But for most compilers there’ll be a single mpifort (with mpif90 and mpif77 symbolic links for backward compatibility for some time).

That sounds perfect. -- Jeff Squyres [email protected] For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
