f2c
F2c converts Fortran 77 source code in files with names ending in `.f' or `.F' to C (or C++) source files in the current directory, with `.c' substituted for the final `.f' or `.F'.  If no Fortran files are named, f2c reads Fortran from standard input and writes C on standard output.  File names that end with `.p' or `.P' are taken to be prototype files, as produced by option `-P', and are read first.
Compiled for OpenStep 4.2/mach for m68k, Intel, Sparc.  Only tested on OS4.2/m68k.

INSTALLATION
The tar.gz archive contains the installer package f2c.pkg.
Use /NextAdmin/Installer.app to install.  This will install f2c, fcc, libf2c.a, f2c.h and man/man1/f2c.1.  fcc is a modified script from original fc (bash has a built-in shell command fc, so I changed the name to fcc), to make it work with bash.  fc is a shell script that uses f2c and imitates much of the behavior of commonly found f77 commands, fc.  So if you want to use fcc, you need bash (you may need to change the very first line of script, !#/usr/gnu/bin/bash to give the PATH to your bash).

The other files contained in the tar.gz archive:

Source/src.tar.gz
Source for the converter itself (f2c).

Source/libf2c.zip
Source for libf2c.a, which is combination of libf77 and libi77.  libf77 is a library of non I/O support routines the generated C may need.  libi77 is a library of Fortran I/O routines the generated C may need.

Source/fc
unmodified original f77-style shell script to compile and load fortran, C, and assembly codes

Source/*.OS4.patch
patch files which I applied to the original source

Compiled on OpenStep4.2/mach m68k
Straight forward compilation

1. to compile f2c, apply the following patch (included as Source/f2c.OS4.patch) for the makefile, and then make.

diff -ur ../src.orig/makefile ./makefile
--- ../src.orig/makefile	Wed Feb 25 08:18:04 1998
+++ ./makefile	Fri Oct 30 20:07:07 1998

2. to compile libf2c.a, unzip the src, then go into the directory libf2c, and
cp makefile.u makefile
Then copy the patch "libf2c.OS4.patch" into the directory and apply it by
patch -p0 < libf2c.OS4.patch
This will patch the makefile you copied and open.c.
Then, simply make.
