FORTRAN compiler detection
Greetings, I was wondering if within the last 8 - 10 weeks anyone has made changes to the way FORTRAN compilers are detected. In the past I was able to specify which compiler was used by the F77 system variable. However, I am now having a f90 compiler that exists on my Solaris system detected regardless of the F77 value. Even unsetting the F77 variable leads to the use of the f90 compiler. I was going to look though the distutil change logs but I was hoping that someone might remember changing something off the top of their heads. Thank you for your time and help, Chris -- Christopher Hanley Systems Software Engineer Space Telescope Science Institute 3700 San Martin Drive Baltimore MD, 21218 (410) 338-4338

Hi Robert, Thank you for your help. I am not using the --fcompiler flag. The FORTRAN compilers I have installed are: f77: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 FORTRAN 77 5.3 Patch 111691-07 2004/04/23 Usage: f77 [ options ] files. Use 'f77 -flags' for details basil> f90 -V f90: Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 Fortran 95 6.2 Patch 111690-10 2003/08/28 Usage: f90 [ options ] files.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your help.

Okay, use the --fcompiler flag. That is the way to tell numpy to use a particular compiler if you have multiple ones installed. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

What do you do if you have FORTRAN compilers installed but don't want to use any of the compilers to build numpy? -- Christopher Hanley Systems Software Engineer Space Telescope Science Institute 3700 San Martin Drive Baltimore MD, 21218 (410) 338-4338

Unless if you are linking to a FORTRAN LAPACK or BLAS, no FORTRAN compiler should be used to build numpy. If you find that one is being used, please show us the full output log. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

You need to use it in your case because you are linking against lapack and blas that were built with a Fortran compiler. The Fortran compiler is only used in the link step of lapack_lite.so -Travis O.

If for some reasons, Christopher does not want to use fortran compiler at all, I just want to mention that on solaris (and linux), it should be possible to link with BLAS/LAPACK without a fortran compiler, if using sun performance libraries, since they do not depend on fortran at all (but do provide fortran calling convention). But it is certainly easier to use a fortran compiler, since this configuration is supported out of the box. cheers, David
