INSTALLING FTNCHEK

To build and install ftnchek, follow the instructions below for your
operating system.


(1) UNIX and UNIX-like systems

   Unpacking ftnchek: If the file you received is a UNIX compressed
   tar file, suffix .Z, you should first unzip it using the UNIX
   ``uncompress'' command, and then give it as input to ``tar'' to
   unpack the files.  For example, assuming the file has been placed
   in the desired directory, and is named ftnchek.tar.Z, you would
   give the two UNIX commands

      uncompress ftnchek.tar.Z
      tar -xf ftnchek.tar

   If the suffix is .gz instead of .Z, use the program ``gunzip'' in
   place of ``uncompress''.  The gunzip program is publicly available
   from the GNU project.

   The tar command creates a directory named ftnchek-3.1.1 containing
   the files of the distribution.  You should change directory to this
   directory and follow the instructions below.

   Next, configure a Makefile for your system with the command:

      $ ./configure

   This uses the file Makefile.in as a template.  If you want to change
   some options, edit the file Makefile.in, not Makefile, and re-run
   configure.

   Next, build ftnchek with the command:

      $ make

   To verify correct operation of the newly created ftnchek, you can
   now issue the command

      $ make check

   This will run ftnchek on the suite of test programs in the
   subdirectory ``test'' and report on any discrepancies.

   Note: if you have built and installed the ftnpp preprocessor
   (provided separately), it will be tested for correct interaction
   with ftnchek.  Otherwise this test will be skipped.  Similarly, if
   your system has gawk or nawk installed, the dcl2inc script will
   also be checked for correct operation.  Failure of either of these
   tests usually does not indicate any problem with ftnchek itself.

   Once ftnchek is working properly, issue the command (usually
   requiring super-user authority):

      $ make install

   This will install the executable in /usr/local/bin and the manpage in
   /usr/local/man by default.  (The dcl2inc program will also be
   installed.)

   There is also a small file, project.magic, which can be added to
   your system's magic file, so that the ``file'' program will
   recognize ftnchek project files for what they are.

   If emacs is installed on your system, the lisp file ftnchek.el will
   also be installed in the system site-lisp directory.

   The HTML documentation is not installed by ``make install''.  See
   the section on Associated Files below for details on installing
   this component manually.

   If you see a warning about "catman": on IRIX the manpage gets
   specialized treatment, since man pages are pre-formatted and packed,
   and nroff is not bundled with the OS.  If nroff is available, then it
   is used to create the formatted man pages, and all is well.
   Otherwise, the user should obtain the ftnchek "catman" file,
   distributed separately.  (It is available from ftp.dsm.fordham.edu in
   the pub/ftnchek directory).  Unpack this in the source directory and
   proceed with "make install".  If the "catman" files are not found, a
   notice will be issued, and the flat ascii ("doc") versions will be
   used.

   The UNIX Makefile employs a private script, man2ps, for converting
   manual pages to PostScript (linked to names me2ps, mm2ps, and
   ms2ps, it will support the -me, -mm, and -ms formats as well).  The
   script currently knows about GNU groff, Sun Solaris 2.x troff +
   dpost and psroff; it will use any of these, with groff preferred.
   For troff + dpost, if you get errors like this

troff: Can't open /usr/lib/font/devpost/C.out; line 818, file <standard input>

   you can repair them if you have appropriate privileges:

      % cd /usr/lib/font/devpost
      % ln CO C
      % ln CO.name C.name
      % ln CO.out C.out

   These commands simply create links between a Courier font that Sun
   named CO, and the one named C that is expected by ftnchek.man.  If
   some troff expert knows a better way to handle this, please tell
   us.  Additional alternatives in the man2ps script to support
   ditroff and other vendors' troff-to-PostScript solutions will also
   be welcome.


(2) VMS

   Unpacking ftnchek: If the file you received is a VMS_SHAR.COM file,
   unpack it in an empty directory by executing it as a DCL command
   file.  For instance, if the file is named FTNCHEK_VMS_SHAR.COM and
   located in the current directory, you would give the VMS command

       @FTNCHEK_VMS_SHAR.COM

   It is highly recommendend that VMS users also obtain the file
   SHELL_MUNG.C.  This file is not necessary to build ftnchek, but
   without it wildcards in file names on the command line will not be
   expanded.  This file is no longer bundled with ftnchek, but is
   obtainable at the ftnchek home site and elsewhere.  You should copy
   SHELL_MUNG.C to the same directory as the ftnchek source before
   proceeding to build ftnchek.

   Rename the file "CONFIG-GENERIC.H" to "CONFIG.H".  Next, follow the
   build instructions for Alpha or VAX.

(2a) VMS on Alpha

   Give the command

        $ @BUILD

   After the program has been compiled, you must turn it into a
   so-called "DCL foreign command" so that it can be invoked by
   giving its name on a command line, instead of using the RUN
   command.  Do this with the command

        $ FTNCHEK :== $disk:[directory]FTNCHEK

   where you substitute the disk and directory names where the file
   FTNCHEK.EXE resides.  This command must be executed once per
   login.  It is suggested you put this command into your LOGIN.COM
   file.

   The BUILD procedure also creates a VMS help library named
   FTNCHEK.HLB.  To access it from the VMS HELP command, you must
   give the command

        $ DEFINE HLP$LIBRARY disk:[directory]FTNCHEK.HLB"

   Again, this command must be executed once per login to have effect.

   Note that BUILD.COM uses the files CC.COM and LINK.COM
   which are conditional compilation and link scripts that allow
   re-making ftnchek by compiling only what has changed.

   To verify correct operation of the newly created ftnchek, you can
   now issue the command

	$ @CHECK

   This will run ftnchek on the suite of test programs in the
   subdirectory [.TEST] and report on any discrepancies.  Note: thanks
   to Bob Wells for yeoman service in providing CHECK.COM.

(2b) VMS on DEC VAX

   Same as (2a) except use BUILD-VAX.COM instead.  It has been found
   that some compilers require the /VAXC qualifier in order to compile
   this code properly.  If this is the case with your compiler, edit
   CC.COM, changing cc to cc/vaxc at line 44.



(3a) MS-DOS/Win with Borland BCC32

   Edit CLIB in makefile.bcc32 (line 13) to reflect the location where
   the BCC32 library is installed on your machine.  Rename the file
   "makefile.bcc32" to "makefile".  Rename the file "config-win32.h"
   to "config.h".  Then give the command:

        C> MAKE

   See Remark at (3c).

(3b) MS-DOS/Win with Microsoft Visual C/C++

   Open the workspace file ftnchek.dsw.  Rename the file
   "config-win32.h" to "config.h".  Build ftnchek.exe.

   See Remark at (3c).

(3c) Other MS-DOS/Win

   See the instructions at (6) below.  You should define the macro
   MSDOS manually, if your compiler does not automatically define one
   of the macros _WIN32, _MSDOS or __TURBOC__.  (If it does define one
   of these, then MSDOS is defined automatically.)  The macro MSDOS is
   needed in order to configure ftnchek's behavior to suit the
   DOS/Windows environment.

   Remark: You can verify correct operation of the MS-DOS/Win version of
   ftnchek as follows.  Change directory to the TEST folder and
   execute the CHECK.BAT batch file, i.e. give the commmand CHECK.
   (This check is not as thorough as the one for Unix, due to some
   limitations of the MS-DOS environment.

   Note: Thanks to Gunnar Duus for providing  makefile.bcc32 and the
   MSVC project files, as well as CHECK.BAT and its companion scripts.


(4) Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW)

   Rename the file "makefile.mpw" to "makefile".  Edit the file,
   changing character '+' to CHAR(182), option-d on the Macintosh
   keyboard; and the character '/' to CHAR(196), option-f.  Rename the
   file "config-generic.h" to "config.h".  Then use the "make" command
   to create Ftnchek.


(5) OS/2 with gcc

   If you have installed the GNU utility "sed", you can customize the
   makefile for your system.  Give the command:

         configure_os2

   This will create makefile.os2 with appropriate values for your
   system.  You should rename it "makefile".  Rename the file
   "config-generic.h" to "config.h".  Then run make to build ftnchek.
   Configure_os2 also builds an OS/2 version of the dcl2inc script
   that is configured for your system.  Many thanks to Jan Ftacnik,
   Stefan A. Deutscher and Christian Bartels for producing and
   improving this configuration script.


(6a) Other systems having "make" utility

   Rename the file "makefile.generic" to "makefile", edit it
   appropriately for your system.  Rename the file "config-generic.h"
   to "config.h", and edit it for your system.  Then run make.

(6b) Other systems not having "make" utility

   First rename the file "config-generic.h" to "config.h", and edit it
   for your system.  Then it should suffice simply to compile all the
   ".c" files and link them.  The main differences among the versions
   for different operating systems have to do with:

         -- the use of "/" vs. "-" as a command-line option prefix.
            Define the macro name OPTION_PREFIX_SLASH if "/" is to be
            accepted as an alternate to "-".  (No particular value
            need be assigned to this macro, just define it.)  The "-"
            prefix is always accepted.  NOTE: do not define this macro
            if your system uses the "/" character as a separator in
            path names.  Doing so will introduce ambiguities in the
            command-line arguments.
         -- the default filename extension ".for" vs. ".f".  Define
            the macro name DEF_SRC_EXTENSION to the string value
            corresponding to Fortran source files on your system.
         -- the default home directory in which to search for
            .ftnchekrc or ftnchek.ini.  Define SPECIAL_HOMEDIR to the
            string value appropriate for your system.
         -- the default systemwide directory in which to search for
            include-files.  Define the macro DEFAULT_INCLUDE_DIR to
            the string value of this directory.
   These macros are all defined automatically to appropriate values
   for Unix, VMS, and MSDOS systems.  You only need to define them by
   hand if compiling ftnchek on other systems.

   There are also some definitions in the file config.h that control
   the use of certain system header files and library functions.  For
   Unix systems, this file is automatically created by the configure
   script.  If you are unable to use the configure script, the generic
   version of config.h provided in the distribution will work for most
   systems, but you may need to edit config.h manually to reflect the
   situation on your own system.


Once ftnchek is working, you can test it by giving the command:

        $ ftnchek -list -sym average

Then compare the output against the file ``average.out''.  A more
thorough checkout is possible on Unix systems by giving the ``make
check'' command described above.


			   Associated files

There are several auxiliary files included in the distribution.  Most
of them are automatically installed by ``make install'' on a Unix
system.  On non-Unix systems, you may not be able to use them.  If you
can use them, you will need to install them in an appropriate place
manually.

dcl2inc is a script to convert the .dcl files produced by ftnchek with
    the -makedcls option, into files suitable for inclusion in your
    source code.  This script requires a modern version of awk.  The
    dcl2inc script itself is a Bourne shell script that simply invokes
    awk with suitable arguments.  On Unix systems, the dcl2inc script
    is generated from dcl2inc.in by the configure script, which
    substitutes apropriate values for the library where dcl2inc.awk is
    installed and for the local version of awk (e.g. gawk or nawk).
    If you wish to use this script on a non-Unix system, you can make
    the substitutions by hand, since they are few and obvious
    (assuming you have a suitable awk available).

ftnchek.el is an Emacs lisp package that provides an ftnchek mode.
    Using ``make install'' installs this in the system site-lisp
    directory if there is one.  Read the comments at the head of the
    file for details.  Each user should add a line like:
      (add-hook 'fortran-mode-hook (require 'ftnchek-mode "ftnchek"))
    to his or her personal .emacs file.  The author has said that this
    package is still undergoing improvements, so the version included
    in this distribution may well be out of date by now.  The most
    recent version of ftnchek.el can be found at the URL given in that
    file.

ftnchek.1 and dcl2inc.1 are Unix man pages.  They are automatically
    installed in the man directory by ``make install.''  They are not
    much use on non-Unix systems.

ftnchek.hlp is a VMS help document.  It is automatically converted to
    a help library by BUILD.COM.  That script gives instructions for
    making the help library available to VMS HELP.  You may wish to
    install this in a suitable system-wide help directory.

html is a directory containing a hypertext version of the
    documentation.  This is NOT installed automatically by ``make
    install.''  If you wish to make this documentation available on
    your local system, install these files someplace where a browser
    can access them.  A typical way to do this would be to create a
    directory named "ftnchek" in a suitable place in the web server
    directory, then copy all the files from the html directory to that
    directory.  The file index.html is the top-level HTML file.

    Note that the HTML documents contain some URLs pointing to other
    man pages.  If your system has HTML man pages, or a cgi program
    that converts man pages to HTML on the fly, you may want to edit
    these links so they will work correctly.  As distributed, the html
    files contain URLs of the form:
       "http://localhost/cgi-bin/man/man2html?n+prog"
    for a reference to program prog in manual section n.

				Notes

The suffix .prj for project files is also used by the program revision
control system prcs (see http://scam.xcf.berkeley.edu/~jmacd/prcs.html) so
that conflicts might occur.  Use the macro DEF_PROJ_EXTENSION to change the
default suffix.  For Unix systems, you can specify the alternative
extension on the make command line.  For example, to change the extension
to .foo you would say:
    make OPTIONS='-DDEF_PROJ_EXTENSION=\".foo\"'
Alternatively, edit the Makefile to set the OPTIONS variable as above,
or edit the file ftnchek.h to change the definition of DEF_PROJ_EXTENSION
to the desired string.
