[mesa-users] Bug in makefile distributed with package_template?

[Warrick Ball]

Hi everyone,

I've recently been trying to place code into a new package using MESA's 
package template.  I've been running into a compile-time error with my 
tester and, though I'm pretty rusty at FORTRAN and compiling stuff, here's 
what I think is wrong.

Here's a block from $MESA_DIR/package_template/make/makefile:


LIB = libpkg.a
LIB_DEFS = pkg_def.o
LIB_OBJS = pkg_mod.o pkg_lib.o

$(LIB) : $(LIB_DEFS) $(LIB_OBJS)
         $(LIB_TOOL) $(LIB) $(LIB_OBJS)


I've effectively got code in pkg_def.o that the test isn't seeing.  My 
guess is that's because the last line of that block should read


         $(LIB_TOOL) $(LIB) $(LIB_DEFS) $(LIB_OBJS)


or something similar.  That certainly solves my problem, so I'll assume 
that's the bug.  If I've made a mistake, or this is an indication that I'm 
using the package template incorrectly, let me know!

Cheers,
Warrick
