[FLASH-USERS] flash and absoft compiler

[Dean Townsley]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to help my friend Evan get flash working.  He's got an
Absoft fortran compiler on a Mac, and starting from the Absoft
Makefile in the Prototypes directory we got as far as linking.  But it
seems that this fortran compiler creates symbols in all caps but the C
functions are in lowercase (like every other compiler wants them).

Does anyone know off-hand the way to make this work?

I tried -YEXT_NAMES=LCS which changes all the fortan symbols to
lowercase, but then it has problems with the mpi functions.  I guess
we need to rebuild mpich with a similar flag?  And it makes
_RUNTIMEPARAMETERS_DATA not lowercase, but I don't know why this is
special.  I'm just unsure if we are headed down the right path here.

Compiler is Absoft Pro fortran version 8.0.

Thanks for any help,
-Dean
