For which compiler is the UAM-V® v. 1.30 Makefile, and what do the options mean?
The UAM-V® v. 1.30 Makefile supplied on the CD works for a Fortran 77 compiler on a DEC Alpha system. It uses the f77 command for compilation; some systems use a different command name for the Fortran compiler. The options are as follows: FCFLGS = -O -static -switch fe_ioworst -convert big_endian -non_shared The -O option is for default optimization, which we recommend for most systems. -static causes all variables to be statically allocated. That is, local variables in subroutines retain their values between calls. This option may have a different name on some systems. This is the default on many systems. -switch fe_ioworst and -convert big_endian are both DEC-specific options that cause the binary i/o to use a byte order that is consistent with most other Unix based workstations. DEC uses a byte order that is reversed from that used on most Unix systems and these options allow files written on DEC to be used on other Unix systems such as Sun or SGI, and vice versa. These options are
