Greetings, I start with a comment to: http://wiki.debian.org/GfortranTransition "getarg and some other g77 specific functions have been removed from gfortran."
This is not the case. See: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gfortran/GETARG.html My guess would be that the program contained an EXTERNAL GETARG which instructs gfortran to regard GETARG a user-supplied function. Simply removing the EXTERNAL line or using INTRINSIC GETARG should work. Camm Maguire wrote: > Greetings! I am having the following problem building blas on amd64 > with gcc/gfortran 4.2. Ideally, you would provide a small - self-contained - test case illustrating what goes wrong. Currently, one has to guess the packages together - and the used compiler options for both BLAS and CBLAS. I now have: - LAPACK 3.1.1, which contains all BLAS routines incl. and "BLAS/TESTING" - cblas.tgz I compiled them with gfortran 4.3.0, FORTRAN = gfortran OPTS = -funroll-loops -O3 -march=native -msse3 CFLAGS = -O3 -DADD_ FFLAGS = -O3 and all tests of CBLAS passed. As this is seemingly not the case on your x86-64, I need more details such as compiler options for all the libraries. If you had a small, self-contained test it would also be great. Maybe I also run the wrong tests, but I only followed the CBLAS/README. $ gfortran -mnosseregparam -pipe -g -c c_sblat1.f f951: error: unrecognized command line option "-mnosseregparam" Well, as "man gcc" reveals, the option is spelled differently and there is no "no-" version; see: -msseregparm Use SSE register passing conventions for float and double arguments and return values. Note that the -m* options are target-system-dependent options and are best asked at [EMAIL PROTECTED] They are general GCC options and are not specific to gfortran. Tobias PS: I will try now to find out more about what goes wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
