oski: new port

[ryandesign@…]

Antoine Dechaume ​requested assistance building oski on Mac OS X.

I started a portfile for oski and encountered the same error he did:

ld: Undefined symbols:
_MAIN__
/usr/bin/libtool: internal link edit command failed
make[1]: *** [liboski.la] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Warning: the following items did not execute (for oski): org.macports.destroot org.macports.build
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
$

Apparently the developer of oski ​doesn't know why this is happening either.

I'll attach my partial portfile if anyone else wants to look into it.

incomplete portfile

Searching Google for this error I found ​a page with a suggestion to replace "program foo" with "subroutine foo" in the Fortran program, and then write a small C program which calls this Fortran subroutine:

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    foo_();
    return 0;
}

But to try this, I would need to know what the name of the main Fortran program is. I don't even know where the Fortran code is for this program. I'm not a Fortran programmer so I don't even know what to look for.

In the configure output I see this:

checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... none

On the topic of dummy main functions I found ​this reference.

Not sure if any of that is relevant. Just grasping at straws.

It looks like the "ld: Undefined symbols: _MAIN__" problem was already ​reported back in December 2006 on the oski mailing list.
