[MITgcm-devel] sun os

[Martin Losch]

My favorite operating system! Yesterday I tried to compile one 
experiment (basically exp4) on one of our SunOS computers, but it 
failed at the make-step (both with the default optfile and with 
sunos_sun4u_f77 where MAKE=gmake is specified):
 >> make
compiled the c-code and then tried to link, of course it failed, 
because no fortran source had been compiled.
I then found out that gmake works. I remember that there was a 
discussion about that, but what's the status? Is the inapt sun-user 
(that's me) supposed to know that gmake has to be used instead of make?

"make" is still the command to use.
(It was quite embarrassing that after I have been claiming that the 
MITgcm "compiles and runs everywhere without any problems", it didn't 
compile and I didn't know why (took me some time to remember gmake)
