SOFTSUSY Compilation Issues

Compilation Issues

Have you:

Made sure you have a valid fortran compiler?
Got a valid C++ compiler?

If your system's having problems finding the fortran compiler, try

> ./configure F77=gfortran
> make

for the gfortran compiler (replace with the name of the one you want to use, eg ifort, g77-34 etc). Alternatively, if you prefer, try the old school makefile: drop it into your SOFTSUSY directory, edit the C++ and fortran compiler entries and just do a

> make

Good luck!

Specific Reported Issues

There has been a report (2009) on a new mac that the C++ automatically compiles with 64-bit, whereas fortran compiles in 32-bit architecture. Passing -m64 to fortran (or -m32 to C++) should sort this problem out. Thanks to James Wells for this report.

Another report 03/06/10 is of an error like:

can't find std::ctype::_M_widen_init() const

This is apparently due to a bug in gcc-4.4 when the code is optimised. So far, I've had one report of this from a Mac user. Turn optimisation off by removing the two "-O2" in the configure.ac file, then do

> make clean
> ./configure
> make
