I have problems with Absoft Fortran. I am porting Erlgraph 2.1, a
graphics library of about 650 routines, to the ST. It is easy to compile
the routines. But I have problems to create the libraries (as the
Absoft's libraries are restricted to at most 210 routines, at least 4
libraries are needed):
The librarian is very rudimentary. You cannot drive it by
command line arguments or a script file. And input redirection
from gulam doesn't work. Of course, I don't want to type in
650 names by hand. And I want to avoid to look into the
program with a dissassembler and search for a possibility to
patch it.
Is there any substitution for the librarian/linker system? Since I use
Gulam and GNU make, I would prefer command line driven substitutes if
they exist. A linker that can use libraries in GNU format would be great
since I have gcc-ar.
Side question: is there any utility to convert dri and/or Absoft objects
to GNU objects and vice versa? I am not able to write such a thing. But
I would like to write the machine dependent parts of the GKS-Metafile
drivers in C.
Thanks!
