Libf2c converts FORTRAN code to C code. It needs the libf2c.a and f2c.h files. Attached is an ebuild that compiles it, and installs the library and include file. I'm thinking that it should go in dev-utils. Also, I pulled a .zip file off a site, tgz'd, it and put it on my website. I couldn't find a version number, so I used 1.0.0. If I can move it to some central website, or be given suggestions for the version number, it would be appreciated. Adam
Created attachment 856 [details] Ebuild for libf2c.
Hi! This ebuild might warrant the addition of a 'f2C' USE variable. Many fortran apps have a config option allowing the build to use g77 or libf2c (there are claims that compiling with libf2c still has performance advantages over using g77)
hi, i need this ebuild for ghemistry (well, i wrote another one, available at http://gentoo.org/~hannes/dev-libs/libf2c/ ). the license should be ftp://ftp.netlib.org/f2c/disclaimer would be nice if you can commit one of the ebuilds soon (or if you don't object i will commit mine).
Hi guys. Ok, on to the next of 20+ post-freeze new submissions and updates :). Hannes: 1st: thanks for indicating that this one is needed, that really helps to set priorities for my (long) list of post-freeze bugs. I took a look at both ebuilds and liked yours better (not that they are so much different, especially in light of when this one was submitted). I guess I'll let you commit it, since you've done all this work already :). Assigning this bug to you. Adam: Thank you for your submission! And sorry for taking so long to process it. I just wanted to let you know, that your effort is much appreciated. George
thanks, committed.
