Craig Burley f30bc2e7f5 Makefile.in (install): Don't install if $(libsubdir) is empty...
Sat Jun 13 03:46:40 1998  Craig Burley  <burley@gnu.org>
	* Makefile.in (install): Don't install if $(libsubdir)
	is empty; issue a diagnostic saying top-level Makefile
	must pass it in instead, and exit.
	* Makefile.in (g2c.h): Rename from f2c.h.
	* Makefile.in, libF77/Makefile.in, libI77/Makefile.in,
	libU77/Makefile.in: Rewrite config and var assignment
	sections to be even more minimal than before, and to
	more clearly documented what macros are expected to be
	set and to what sorts of values.  Eliminate CROSS and
	related stuff, since there's no such things as CROSS
	in egcs.  Rename GCC_FOR_TARGET to CC throughout.
	* Makefile.in (stamp-libi77, stamp-libf77, stamp-libu77):
	Eliminate CROSS.
	* configure.in: Eliminate CROSS.
	Rename libf2c.a and f2c.h to libg2c.a and g2c.h,
	normalize and simplify g77/libg2c build process:
	* Makefile.in: Remove all stuff pertaining to
	installation, cleaning, and so on.  Parent Makefile
	does all that now.  Pass F2C_H_DIR,
	G2C_H_DIR, and GCC_H_DIR, the pathnames for the
	directories containing f2c.h, g2c.h, and other
	#include files, to subdirectory Makefiles.
	(stamp-libf77, stamp-libi77, stamp-libu77):
	Don't specify `-f Makefile' anymore, it's not needed
	now that subdirectory makefile's from netlib are
	renamed to makefile.netlib in g77 source (and to
	makefile.ori by configuration process, in case they're
	still around somehow).
	(stamp-libe77): Don't make libE77 dir unless it doesn't
	exist, if it does just delete all objects in it.
	Compile using $(GCC_FOR_TARGET), not $(CC).
	(rebuilt): Remove this and all subordinate targets,
	as parent Makefile now handles all that.
	(*clean): Remove.
	* configure.in (Pad_UDread, ALWAYS_FLUSH, WANT_LEAD_0):
	Remove these and commentary to new f2c.h file.
	AC_OUTPUT g2c.h instead of f2c.h.  Remove old commentary
	regarding concatenation.
	* g2c.h.in: Rename from f2c.h.in, add appropriate
	commentary.
	* f2c.h: New file, a wrapper for g2c.h that does
	libg2c-specific stuff.
	* libF77/Makefile.in, libI77/Makefile.in, libU77/Makefile.in:
	Change $(ALL_CFLAGS) to use F2C_H_DIR, G2C_H_DIR, and GCC_H_DIR
	macros.  Remove F2C_H macro, replace use with explicit
	dependencies on f2c.h and g2c.h.
	(*clean): Remove.

This directory contains the f2c library packaged for use with g77 to configure
and build automatically (in principle!) as part of the top-level configure and
make steps. This depends on the makefile and configure fragments in ../f.
g77 names this library `libg2c' to avoid conflict with existing copies
of `libf2c' on a system.
Some small changes have been made to the f2c distributions of lib[FI]77 which
come from <ftp:bell-labs.com/netlib/f2c/> and are maintained (excellently) by
David M. Gay <dmg@bell-labs.com>. See the Notice files for copyright
information. I'll try to get the changes rolled into the f2c distribution.
Files that come directly from netlib are either maintained in the
gcc/f/runtime/ directory under their original names or, if they
are not pertinent for g77's version of libf2c, under their original
names with `.netlib' appended. For example, gcc/f/runtime/permissions.netlib
is a copy of f2c's top-level`permissions' file in the netlib distribution.
In this case, it applies only to the relevant portions of the libF77/ and
libI77/ directories; it does not apply to the libU77/ directory, which is
distributed under different licensing arrangements. Similarly,
the `makefile.netlib' files in libF77/ and libI77/ are copies of
the respective `makefile' files in the netlib distribution, but
are not used when building g77's version of libf2c.
The `README.netlib' files in libF77/ and libI77/ thus might be
interesting, but should not be taken as guidelines for how to
configure and build libf2c in g77's distribution.
The packaging for auto-configuration was done by Dave Love <d.love@dl.ac.uk>.
Minor changes have been made by James Craig Burley <burley@gnu.org>,
who probably broke things Dave had working. :-)
Among the user-visible changes (choices) g77 makes in its
version of libf2c:
- f2c.h configured to default to padding unformatted direct reads
(#define Pad_UDread), because that's the behavior most users
expect.
- f2c.h configured to default to outputting leading zeros before
decimal points in formatted and list-directed output, to be compatible
with many other compilers (#define WANT_LEAD_0). Either way is
standard-conforming, however, and you should try to avoid writing
code that assumes one format or another.
- dtime_() and etime_() are from Dave Love's libU77, not from
netlib's libF77.
