*** up to date test-release of f2c for FreeBSD 2.x-RELEASE ***
hello
this is the test-release of an up to date version of f2c. the version
in FreeBSD 2.x RELEASE is from 1993 and since then there were many
bug-fixes and small enhancements made to f2c - that's i decided to pick
an actual version - july the 20th 1995 - from ftp.netlib.org:/f2c and
adapted it to FreeBSD. it should now work without problems together
with FreeBSD and it's FORTRAN driver f77.
please try this version out before i'll send it to the core team for
submitting it to FreeBSD-current and if possible to the 2.1-RELEASE
tree. if you find any problems you haven't got with the original
2.x-RELEASE version - please send me a mail
the files are:
backup.sh:
a simple shell-script for creating a backup copy of your original f2c
binaries as f2cbinorg.tgz and f2c sources as f2csrcorg.tgz - run it
using
sh backup.sh
f2cbin.tgz:
a gzip compressed tar archive containing /usr/bin/f2c and
/usr/share/man/man1/f2c.1.gz (compiled for 2.0.5-RELEASE - if you
use 2.0-RELEASE you have to build it from the sources - simply unpack
them - set the environment-variable BINDIR to /usr/bin and do a make;
make install; make clean in /usr/src/usr.bin/f2c and
/usr/src/lib/libf2c) - to unpack it do the following (after making a
backup of the old version with the backup.sh script):
cd /
rm -f /usr/bin/f2c
rm -f /usr/share/man/man1/f2c.1*
rm -f /usr/share/man/cat1/f2c.1*
tar xvzf _path_to_the_file_/f2cbin.tgz
f2csrc.tgz:
the same for the sources:
cd /
rm -f /usr/src/usr.bin/f2c
rm -f /usr/src/usr/lib/libf2c
rm -f /usr/src/usr/lib/libF77
rm -f /usr/src/usr/lib/libI77
tar xvzf _path_to_the_file_/f2csrc.tgz
