[Fink-users] Manual compilation and dependencies in fink
Finkers: I'd like to work with g95, and use netcdf-g95, this week, but I have a Snow Leopard system and g95 hasn't been upgraded yet to work with 10.6 in the fink repository. I'm sure it'll be upgraded soon enough, but I have a more generic question that relates to this specific issue. There are binaries for MacOS X available directly from g95.org that appear to work -- what I'm wondering is, so I don't have unix binaries all over my system, is whether or not I'll run into problems moving the binary and the libs in /sw/bin and /sw/lib. On a related note, netcdf-g95, of course, requires g95 (there appears to be 10.6 version available via fink install), so how do I either bypass the dependency check, or point it to my g95 binary I grabbed from elsewhere?

Re: [Fink-users] Manual compilation and dependencies in fink
That may be true, but we have no way of building a binary for g95 on 10.6 at the moment. Using a binary built on an earlier 10.x might be a stopgap solution, but in the long run, it is not good news for g95 on OS X. I'm not a fortran guy, myself, but I was under the impression that most folks had migrated from g95 to gfortran; is this not correct? -- Dave On Sep 12, 2009, at 3:58 PM, Jonathan Greenberg wrote: Hmm, the binary SEEMS to work, but then again I'm not sure how to test it: http://ftp.g95.org/g95-x86-osx.tgz (its a dependency for a climate model I'm trying to compile) -- I noticed it seemed to be compiling some of the code correctly, but can't be sure its working across the board. --j David R.

I am under the impression that bringing g95 to 10.6 is going to be very difficult, if not impossible. -- Dave On Sep 12, 2009, at 3:32 PM, Jonathan Greenberg wrote: Finkers: I'd like to work with g95, and use netcdf-g95, this week, but I have a Snow Leopard system and g95 hasn't been upgraded yet to work with 10.6 in the fink repository.

Hello, Jonathan. If I understood correctly you're thinking of installing a non-Fink g95 and copying its files to Fink's folder, /sw. That's potential for trouble because you'd be installing files that are supposed to be installed by Fink, potentially messing with Fink's (dpkg's) internal list of installed files, as well as leaving dangling files if you attempt to undo this 'installation'. There's also the issue that library full paths are hardcoded into programs linked against them, so you might have to create appropriate symbolic links whenever needed. I wouldn't recommend it at all and Fink wouldn't be able to provide you any further support. In summary, don't do it. :) As for netcdf-g95 using a non-Fink g95 in a different location (/usr/ local, /opt, etc), one possibility is to create a local netcdf-g95 package and modify its package description so that it doesn't depend on Fink's g95 and uses a non-Fink g95 for compilation. You may find information on local packages in the following pages: http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/local-packages/ http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/07/24/creating-local-packages/ I've never used Fortran and I don't know netcdf-g95 so I wouldn't be able to tell you how much work it would be to adapt it so that it uses a non-Fink g95 compiler.
