Alan,

I couldn't find a "short" makefile in the f77 example directory. Are these
the typical makefile lines (out of 951) to which you refer?

x06f$(EXEEXT): $(x06f_OBJECTS) $(x06f_DEPENDENCIES)
    @rm -f x06f$(EXEEXT)
    $(F77LINK) $(x06f_LDFLAGS) $(x06f_OBJECTS) $(x06f_LDADD) $(LIBS)

There must be a simpler example somewhere. The example makefile is so
obfuscated by substitutions that decoding is all but impossible.

My example (in my original post) was a feeble attempt at understanding after
studying the very same makefile that I think you suggested. Sorry, I've been
using Fortran for over 40 years, but have used the make utility (off and on)
for only for the last 10 years or so.

Could someone please suggest a simple command line compilation of something
like x06f.f? Would defining some environment variables help?

Sorry to be such a dunce.

Joe
