[MITgcm-devel] genmake2 problem

[Patrick Heimbach]

Hi Ed,

there's a sublte problem with genmake2.
We now ommit #define of packages in CPP_OPTIONS.h
which is good.
However, a funny thing happens when you have
a CPP flag that's very similar to a package name,
but is not a package name.
For example,  if you add the flag
#define ALLOW_SEAICEFFF
in lab_sea/code/CPP_OPTIONS.h
genmake2 will choke

Error: In ../code/CPP_OPTIONS.h there is an illegal line: #define
ALLOW_SEAICEFFF

because it thinks the flag refers to a package name.
