@majorheading Synopsis

@smallexample
AX_F77_CMAIN_FFLAGS([ACTION-IF-SUCCEED], [ACTION-IF-FAIL])
@end smallexample

@majorheading Description

This macro figures out if extra Fortran compiler flags are required in
order to use the Fortran linker to link programs where the main()
function is defined via C (or other language). On some systems, notably
the Alpha with Compaq compilers, the Fortran libraries have their own
main() function which must be disabled.

Runs ACTION-IF-SUCCEED if successful, and ACTION-IF-FAIL if not. Defines
the output variable F77_CMAIN_FFLAGS to any discovered flags. (If
ACTION-IF-FAIL is not specified, defaults to halting with an error.)

This macro is especially useful in conjunction with automake, since by
default automake uses $F77 to link programs mixing C and Fortran,
leading to a link error on some systems. In this case, you should set
the FFLAGS for that program to include F77_CMAIN_FFLAGS.
