f2c port request

[vaccari@…]

Would it be possible to add f2c to the available ports?

​http://www.netlib.org/f2c/

Thanks

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I am looking into it.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The only distfile I see there is a zip file for libf2c. I've managed to make a port of this, but it only contains the library; that source does not build the actual f2c program. The source of the program appears to only be available as individual files in ​http://www.netlib.org/f2c/src/ which is silly. I'm looking to see if freebsd or gentoo or other distributions have already packaged sensible distfiles of that which we could use.

f2c portfile which actually only installs libf2c

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

• r88769: added f2c port; this is the program you use to convert Fortran to C code
• r88768: added libf2c port; this is the library you link your code with after you've converted it from Fortran to C

I have not tried them, since I don't know Fortran.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

• r88768: added libf2c port; this is the library you link your code with after you've converted it from Fortran to C

I have not tried them, since I don't know Fortran.

Just tried on some fortran code. Translation with f2c and compiling/linking with libf2c produced a working executable

Thanks for the quick port!

While everything was ok installing f2c on a machine running 10.6.8, installation fails here on a machine with 10.7.2, and Xcode 4.2.1. This machine is born with Lion, with MacPorts 2.0.3 freshly installed from scratch. Other packages (gcc45, ghostscript, gmt4, gnuplot and their dependencies) installed with no issues up to now.

The full log with the default compiler is given below. The same failure occurs using llvm-gcc-4.2 or apple-gcc42 (I added just the two error messages at the bottom, but can add the full log if needed):

I tried also

sudo port clean f2c
sudo port install f2c configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

and in the log the error is again similar

...
:info:build shell command " cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_f2c/f2c/work/f2c-20110816" && /usr/bin/make -j8 -w all -f makefile.u CC="/Developer/usr/bin/llvm-gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64" CFLAGS="-O2" " returned error 2

Then tried

sudo port clean f2c
sudo port install apple-gcc42
sudo port install f2c configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2 configure.cxx=g++-apple-4.2

obtaining

sorry for there messy look of the log, attached the log file now...

This should really be filed under a new ticket.
