Hi David,
Now, a week after the discussion, what do you think about my proposal
of the "g77" link under /usr/bin? IMHO, the following facts are all good
reasons for creating the link:
- the output of "f77 -V", "f77 --version", "man f77", and "info g77";
- our Fortran compiler _is_ GNU Fortran, i.e., g77;
- there are configure scripts which [legitimately] look for g77 when
instructed to use the GNU Fortran compiler;
- we already have a "gcc" link.
I understand (and agree) your arguments against Gfoo, but I think that
the benefits of the g77 link are worth the "sacrifice" (gsacrifice?) :-)
Regards,
-- JMA
