OK, this is the problem!  If you have a working CPP (a C pre-processor)
installed and if you are correctly specifying it within the "optfile"
for genmake2, then after running the three following commands:

  cd build
  ../../../genmake2 -mods=../code -of=path/to/your/optfile
  make depend

you should have a directory full of soft-links (each with "*.F" names). 
Then running:

  make

should, for each "*.F" file:

  1) produce a corresponding "*.f" file using CPP, and

  2) then compile that "*.f" file using your Fortran compiler

It seems that your setup is skipping #1 above and that is most likely
due to a problem with the makefile or with your version of "make".  What
version of make are you using?  What does "man make" tell you?

Yes!  It looks like you have a "make" problem.  Please install Gnu make:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html

on your system and try again.  I think your "make" program is not happy
with our Makefile and, without more information, I don't know how to fix
it.  Basically, your make program its skipping the 

  .F -> .f -> .o

chain of rules and instead trying to do a direct .F -> .o compile which
then results in a lot of errors since you need to have things run
through CPP first.
