[MITgcm-devel] netcdf on Sun

[Martin Losch]

Ed,
I am trying to run the MITgcm on our "beloved" SunFire (in fact its a 
heap of junk, but since it is there ...), and genmake2 stalls. When I 
do a CTRL-C after 15 min I get this:
>     packages are:   debug generic_advdiff mdsio mnc mom_fluxform 
> mom_vecinv monitor rw timeave
> ^CError: problem encountered while building source files in pkg/mnc:

So I turned off mnc in packages config and now I get a makefile but 
also many (too many to even stay in term history) awk statements such 
as:
> awk: bailing out near line 1
> awk: syntax error near line 1
> awk: bailing out near line 1

needless to say, that make depend doesn't link anything and that make 
doesn't work either. Any experience with this? What can I do to trace 
down the problem.

PS. It used to work long ago, there is even a config files in 
build_options that is based on a contribution I once made.
