2.2 Building on Tru64

The configure script will choose a Fortran 95 compiler before it settles for a Fortran 77 one. Some of the code requires a Fortran 77 compiler (at least at present, possibly indefinitely), and so if you have more than one Fortran compiler installed, you'll have to force the build system with a command like:


% ./configure FC=f77 [other arguments]
where the Tru64 Fortran 77 compiler is called f77. You can give the path to the compiler also, if the f77 you want isn't the first one in your PATH. Since this sort of robustness is the sort of thing we'll continue to work on, don't do this until you have empirically determined that it won't work otherwise.

The Tru64 C and C++ compilers should work fine: if you have more than one compiler installed, you can force them with the configure arguments CC=cc and CXX=cxx; but this shouldn't be necessary.
