[MITgcm-devel] make depend on sun (o:

[Martin Losch]

I like your idea, I have wasted so much time with xmakedepend now.

I could compile cyrus-imapd-makedepend on solaris 9, which is what we 
are using, on both machines that are really relevant (the ones that are 
being tested every week).

this makedepend is incredibly fast, but does it do the right thing? 
after using i get a compile error at the link step:

> Undefined                       first referenced

> ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to mitgcmuv
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

> make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `mitgcmuv'

this has to do with some c-routines (timenow_), will I have to change 
the FC_MANGLE stuff?
