[MITgcm-devel] Genmake2 on SGI

[Alistair Adcroft]

Ed,

I'll try this out when I'm next at WHOI and check it in if it works...

Reading the .SUFFIXES lines from genmake2 I think the problem arises from
the order; my experience is that the order should be reverse of the
dependence so ".o .f .F" works on all platforms but ".o .F .f" fails to
properly invoke .F.f on some machines.

Hi Alistair,

OK, so we have two issues:

  1) "../../../genmake2 ..." versus "sh ../../../genmake2"

  2) gmake versus "other" make implementations


I just checked in a change for the first that does:

  #! /usr/bin/env sh

instead of 

  #! /usr/bin/env bash

and perhaps that will be more portable.

The second issue is more complicated.  I don't know why or how your
particular "make" implementation is failing.  And, apparently, you're more
interested in complaining than doing something useful like
cutting-and-pasting the actual error message.

So if you want me to "fix" the makefile, then you're going to have to
provide me with access to the machines.  I don't run SSH over a mental
telepathy link.

Ed
