[MITgcm-support] problem running on OS X

[Chris Hill]

Hi Samar,

 not sure if this helps but I did do some runs recently on a mac with xlf.

 One problem was with cpp in panther which may also affect absoft also
 see CPP line -xassembler option below. The other options are probably xlf
specific.

 I will see if I can find an absoft machine.

# **NOTES** 
#   o with Darwin you must remember to build on a ufs file system. The
default Darwin file system (hfs) treats 
#     upper case and lower case file names as the same file. This breaks the
current MITgcm build procedure.

so need to be switched out.
