Two situations are presented below along with some examples:
The following example illustrates the manner in which a MODULEF program is modified to conform to the needs of the user.
First, we need to enter the following command to copy file imagxx.f into the current directory to edit it:
B$ bb e imagxx
To test the compilation and linking commands, we add a Fortran WRITE statement at the beginning of the program, for example:
WRITE(*,*)'HELLO THERE!'and exit from the editor.
The edited file is compiled by entering the command:
B$ co1 imagxx
To link this program with the rest of the MODULEF library, we enter the command:
B$ elm imagxx
Or, if we would like all the object files in the current directory to be linked as well, the following command is used:
B$ elm *.o -o imagxx
Program imagxx, is executed by typing the name of the executable file:
B$ imagxx
If the edited version of program imagxx was compiled and linked correctly, it should start by printing: HELLO THERE!.
Let us suppose that we would like to integrate program imagxx, residing in its own directory, into the stable version of MODULEF. If it is the first time a program is integrated, we must specify the following arguments
The first argument is not obligatory, and is specified only if a member with the same name is not already present in the library.
In practice, the compilation is performed by typing:
B$ bb so ppal imagxxor, if a version of imagxx is already present in library ppal, type:
B$ bb so imagxx
To create the new executable imagxx in MODULEF, we enter:
B$ bb elm imagxx
In general, the few basic commands which we have just encountered usually suffice. It is however useful to know all the commands available. These commands are described in the next section.
