[MITgcm-support] Running MITgcm on Ubuntu.

[Martin Losch]

Yes, should be possible, nowadays most compilers have a switch to convert between big and little endian, e.g. for gfortran it is -fconvert=big-endian. And for compilers that do not have that switch (e.g. g77) there a CPP-flag that you can define (DEFINES='-D_BYTESWAPIO' in the build options file).

Start from a file in tools/build_options that is closest to your system+compiler.
