build and fortran

[Ben Elliston]

Hi,

   I've grabbed the SN4.5.2 tarball, and when I ./configure I get the following:
   Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
   *** Cannot configure in source tree.
   *** Make a parallel directory and configure there.   

You need to build in a separate tree to the source tree:

 $ mkdir build && cd build
 $ ../sn-src/configure [options]

   "Two ways to add a rule for fortran, one is using
   sn_add_simple_ide_rule in .../etc/sn_prop.cfg
   
   sn_add_simple_ide_rule Fortran \
           -suffix-list {.o.f90} \
           -action "$<" \
           -tool fortran \
           -description "Compile a Fortran file." \
           -file-type Fortran
   
   replace "-tool fortran" with whatever fortran compiler you are using. "

This is for building, not parsing.  Look in S-N's project preferences for
the extensions that it recognises as Fortran files (and not that the Fortran
parser doesn't handle F90 yet).

   I did this, with the approporiate suffixes compiler etc, but
   SNavigator does not recognice my *.F90 files.  Is their something more
   like a reboot?

I should hope not!

Hope this helps,

Ben
