problems compiling about fac HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi Ken,
I have fixed this issue in recent updates. it's because the newer version of gfortran is more strict on the argument types.

from fac.

I tried with the lastest 1.1.4 release and that did not work. I forked the current github files and made my own release and that did not work either. Is it a question of the version of gfortran that I am using?

from fac.

what error messages do you get with the up to date version? it shouldn't be the argument type mismatch.

from fac.

using the latest version of FAC and gfortran-12 I get

I look through toms/fdi.f and the comments indicate that this part of the code is for an HP 730

Using "-fallow-invalid-boz" option for FFLAGS/FFLAGSNO flag should be working.

from fac.

Where do I specify "-fallow-invalid-boz"?

from fac.

the easiest way is to set env variable before configure. e.g., if using bash
export F77='gfortran -fallow-invalid-boz'

I will fix the code in a later update.

Where do I specify "-fallow-invalid-boz"?

At present, in file 'Configure, find the lines 'FFLAGSNO="$FFLAGS"' and 'FFLAGS="$FFLAGS $fopt"', adding into the option "-fallow-invalid-boz" may work. Or you can use the way suggested by Prof. Gu.

from fac.

I could not get those two suggestions to work. But I went into toms/fdi.f and commented out the RMACH lines and then it would compile.

from fac.

this is fixed in the latest update.
