Bug 278772 – toolchain-funcs.eclass: tc-getF77 undefined f77

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sébastien Fabbro (RETIRED) 2009-07-22 22:26:55 UTC]

Hi,

the tc-getF77 function in toolchain-funcs.eclass calls f77 as a default FORTRAN 77 compiler which is not defined.
Solution: either call gfortran or g77 as a default depending on the selected gcc profile.

Note it could be also due to the fact that gcc-config wraps f77 to g77 when probably should do it to gfortran or g77 depending on gcc version (of what I see in sys-devel/gcc-config/files/wrapper-1.5.1.c).

Thanks

the sci/fortran guys have been handling the fortran functions.  toolchain team really hasnt had a hand in crafting them.

The proper way would be to do all this in fortran.eclass at some time in the future - but should toolchain-funcs.eclass then inherit fortran?

Sebastien could you proceed here with a fix? Or is the problem solved?

Created attachment 277167 [details, diff]
wrapper-1.5.2.c.diff

trivial patch to fix this for recent gcc. 
but really it should check on the selected gcc version.
