generate 64-bit code from command line

[jrodrig]

Dear Comrades:

I have Absoft Pro Fortran version 10 installed on a Mac Pro Quad with 2 dual core Xeon processors.  Whenever I compile something with f77 or f95 from the command line, but with the -m64 option on, I invariably get stuff like:

diana:~/temp jpr$ f77 -m64 test2.f
unknown relocation type 8
unknown relocation type 8
unknown relocation type 6
.
.
.

The code then bombs out with a bus error when I execute it.   Interestingly, I can
succesfully compile (and then run) 64-bit code if I use the Absoft editor!  Has anyone
come across this probem?

Sincerely, Jose Rodriguez, Los Angeles, 5/27/07.

P.S.  Everything works from the command line if the -m64 option is absent.

That fixed it! Thanks very much for the help.

Hello,

Download and install the latest version of xcode (v2.4.1 last I
checked).  I was unable to duplicate your errors.  I was able to compile
in the terminal with or without the -m64 option.
