Re: [TRNSYS-users] g95 compilation - lessons learnt and questions

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Jean,
Fortran run-time libraries are a bit hard to define categorically; 
essentially, there are some mathematical functions that are not standard 
and that are contained in some additional libraries that must be linked 
into the project. The most commonly known library is the Lapack library, 
a lot of linear algebra functions that can be referenced by a subroutine 
if you link in the Lapack run-time libraries. The reason it is difficult 
to define which libraries you need is that different compilers put their 
non-standard functions in different libraries. As you probably know, if 
you get an "unresolved external" error when you try to compile your 
code, this means that there is routine or a function being referenced in 
your code that is not recognized by the compiler and it needs to be 
provided elsewhere. It sounds as though you have found a lot of them and 
that you have solved the problem by finding alternative functions that 
are native to G95 instead of ones that are referenced in a runtime 
library. My apologies that I cannot offer a "here is how to fix the 
problem" answer; hopefully some of the above information will help guide 
you.
Kind regards,
David
