The SCoP code is written in ANSI-compatible style and thus can, in principle, be used with any ANSI-compatible C compiler. Changing the compiler may require making changes to the makescop command program and the source code for makescop is provided with the SCoP distribution for this purpose. If the object or library file format of the alternative compiler is not exactly compatible with the those from the GNU compiler, all the SCoP code would need to be recompiled from source files. Source files are part of the UNIX SCoP distribution are are available at extra cost for the Windows distribution. Adaptation of SCoP to another C compiler should only be attempted by a person with experience in C programming. Simulation Resources, Inc. does not directly support SCoP on alternative compilers, but we can often provide the information necessary to help an experienced programmer make the adaptation.
