Make it’s a great Unix utility when you are compiling big programs, because automatically builds executable programs and libraries from source code by reading a file called makefile.
The text file named makefile must be in the source folder and it’s runs by the command make in the terminal.
Here a generic makefile:
F90 = gfortran CFLAGS := -g -fbounds-check NETCDF := -I/usr/include -L/usr/lib -lnetcdff -lnetcdf OBJECTS = main.o subrutine.o function.o .PHONY : clean all : program1 program2 program1 : $(OBJECTS) $(F90) $(CFLAGS) -o Program1 $(OBJECTS) main.o : main.f90 $(F90) $(CFLAGS) $(NETCDF) -c main.f90 subrutine.o : subrutine.f90 $(F90) $(CFLAGS) -c subrutine.f90 function.o : function.f90 $(F90) $(CFLAGS) -c function.f90 program2 : prog2.o $(F90) $(CFLAGS) -o Program2 prog2.o prog2.o : prog2.f90 $(F90) $(CFLAGS) -c prog2.f90 Install: cp Program1 /Home/JP/ cp Program2 /Home/JP/sub/ clean: rm –f *.o *.mod
