[MITgcm-support] question about testscript

[Martin Losch]

Ed,

it's probably not worth trying to sort out the mpack problem on my Mac  
via this long distance relationship. I'll wait until someone at EAPS  
has done that, if that's okay with you. I can also wait for the other  
stuff but in case you can't (o: here is what I can offer about the  
build_options file:

without setting MITGCM_OP I get this:
csysm3::verification> ./testreport -ieee
parsing options...  OK
creating the comparison code...  OK
building the mpack utility...  OK

Error: No options file was found in:  ../../../tools/build_options/
   that matches this platform ("darwin_power macintosh") and the  
compilers found in
   your path.  Please specify an "optfile" using:

     1) the command line (eg. "-optfile=path/to/OPTFILE"), or
     2) the MITGCM_OF environment variable.

with setting MITGCM_OF variable, everything seems to work. The  
build_options files that I gave you for Apple are now called in the  
repository darwin_g77 and darwin_absoft_f77, but uname -m returns Power  
Macintosh so that the $PLATFORM variable in genmake2 becomes  
"darwin_power macintosh". Computer sind doof ("computers are dumb", big  
hit by Spliff in Germany in the early eighties!)
