System: NetBSD pkghacker 5.0_STABLE NetBSD 5.0_STABLE (PKGHACKER) #1: Sat Jun 20 20:42:58 EDT 2009 root@pkghacker:/usr/cvs/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/PKGHACKER i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

math/lapack has 3 minor issues which need to be addressed to be compatible with gfortran (available in lang/gcc44).
As an aside, we need math/lapack to work with gfortran because some programs like scilab require gfortran for their
newer releases.

1)  we now need to use the intrinsic instead of external etime().

In patches/patch-ac we'd change EXT_ETIME to INT_ETIME.  However, this may need to be a switch
based on the actual fortran compiler used.  

2)  early on in the build on i386, the single precision tests hang.  Adding -ffloat-store
to FFLAGS in math/lapack/Makefile like:

FFLAGS+=		-ffloat-store

gets this to work again, but this is both i386 specific and gcc specific.

3) I didn't have a problem with this, but I noticed that patch-ad has:

.f.o:
       ${LIBTOOL} --mode=compile --tag=CC ${FC} ${FFLAGS} -c $<


in particular note that we are using the CC tag to libtool with *fortran*.  Shouldn't that be
the F77 tag?  Of course that assumes we even had fortran installed properly before libtool which is
a bit of a chicken and egg issue.


>How-To-Repeat:

/etc/mk.conf:

CC=/opt/gcc44/gcc44/bin/gcc
CXX=/opt/gcc44/gcc44/bin/g++
FC=/opt/gcc44/gcc44/bin/gfortran

I built the gcc44 package into PREFIX=/opt/gcc44 and then pointed to this for my pkgsrc builds.


>Fix:

Figure out how to automatically use the old behavior versus the patched code here depending on the
fortran compiler in use.
