Question

I am a C++ newbie trying to compile code on MacOSX that requires f2c (it’s for Fortran). I am a bit out of my depth and would appreciate any help!

When I do “make”, I get many errors. My guess is that these are related to f2c. There could be macros in f2c that are a problem for Mac. Has anyone out there run into this kind of thing? Is there a solution?

Here are examples of the errors:

Answer 1

It seems that f2cgenerates some macros which names are already defined by your C++.
