Dear all,
I've just turn my back on Windows for Linux and I'm in trouble with my best
preferred software: PMX of course. G77 compiler isn't present in my Fedora
core 4 distribution and I wasn't able install it (a problem with the gcc
compiler version that I can't solve). So I used gfortran compiler that comes
with fedora distribution. I've followed the instructions for this purpose and
I have no compilation errors but when I use the softwares I have 2 problems:
1. pmxab (2508) works fine as musixtex generator, but produces wrong midi
files
2. scor2prt (version 2501) doesent work with the following error message:
At line 323 of file scor2prt.for
Fortran runtime error: Read past ENDFILE record
I am very inesperienced, I know, but there is a way to solve the problem?
It's possible that the question was discussing some time ago ... I'm sorry.
P.S. In a desperation moment I have found that windows PMX.EXE works fine
with Wine emulator!
Regards
Luigi
I think it is VERY IMPORTANT that we find out what's going on here,
because we SHOULD make an effort to get MusixTeX/PMX well established in
the LinuX world. This is particularly important since Luigi's compilation
ran. I've had decades of frustration with FORTRAN code running seemingly
OK with one FORTRAN version and causing havoc with another ... That
happens because every other computer designer/programmer is disappointed
with some feature(s) of FORTRAN and decides to implement some neat code
extensions/additions --- which, of course, never turn out to be
compatible. And the problem usually gets worse with the FORTRAN-to-C
converters which are what the Linux FORTRAN 'compilers' usually are.
So the first step is for both you, Luigi, and you, Don, to give
us the exact name/version of the FORTRAN code you are running.
Some years ago I tried the PMX FORTRAN source with my Salford FTN 77
FORTRAN compiler (which runs under Win32), and got so many compilation
errors that I got fed up with it and never bothered to find out what was
the matter. But now I would be willing to help; but it's hopeless for 1
person alone, especially if we don't stick to particular FORTRAN
versions.
