[MITgcm-devel] solasrv4 testing

[Jean-Michel Campin]

Martin,

I think I understand the problem:
The optfile "sunos_i86pc_f95" specify CFLAGS but not CC,
and "look_for_C_compilers" does not use CFLAGS to test
the possible compiler, so that it can select gcc even
if it does not work with CFLAGS.

Solution:
a) A quick fix: I can change the order of CC candidate in the
look_for_C_compilers
b) add CFLAGS when testing the CC candidate. Going to check if
 is compatible with other use of CC in genmake2.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
