NAME

ExtUtils::F77 - Simple interface to F77 libs

DESCRIPTION

Simple interface to F77 libs based on 'rule-of-thumb' knowledge of various flavours of UNIX systems.

Includes a simple self-documenting Perl database of knowledge/code for figuring out how to link for various combinations of OS and compiler. Please help save the world by sending database entries for your system to kgb@aaoepp.aao.gov.au

The libs can be explicitly overridden by setting the environment variable F77LIBS, e.g.

  % setenv F77LIBS "-lfoo -lbar"
  % perl Makefile.PL
  ...

SYNOPSIS

  use ExtUtils::F77;               # Automatic guess 
  use ExtUtils::F77 qw(sunos);     # Specify system
  use ExtUtils::F77 qw(linux g77); # Specify system and compiler

METHODS

 runtime()    - Returns list of F77 runtime libraries
 runtimeok()  - Returns TRUE only if runtime libraries have been found successfully
 trail_()     - Returns true if F77 names have trailing underscores
 compiler()   - Returns command to execute the compiler (e.g. 'f77')
 cflags()     - Returns compiler flags
 testcompiler - Test to see if compiler actually works
