Description Fred Van Andel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Although the ebuild is testing for g77, the compile continues even if it is not present only to fail during .configure.

The ebuild only checks for the g77 binary, configure will also work of f2c is present, however scilab will not build with f2c I am rebuilding gcc with f77 enabled to see if that fixes it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge scilab
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
... 
checking for g77... no 
checking for f2c... no 
configure: error: Unable to configure: no Fortran compiler found 
 
!!! ERROR: app-sci/scilab-2.7-r2 failed. 
!!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1 
!!! econf failed 
 

Expected Results:  
A clean compile

Update scilab does compile when f77 support is compiled into gcc.
