Compiling the ALGENCAN-Octave interface in a Mac OS environment:
----------------------------------------------------------------

Sent by Paul Koufalas (pkoufalas@adam.com.au) on April, 2007.

It works on Mac OS X (10.4.8). Noting that Octave (2.1.73) and g95 (0.9, using 
gcc 4.0.3) have been installed via the Fink project on my Mac. (Fink is porting
Linux apps to the Mac; similar to darwinports.)  I also point out that I had to
comment out the #ifndef and #endif statements in algencan.f otherwise g95 would
complain. g++ / gcc (4.0.1) are Apple's.

Find below a Makefile for the Octave wrapper to ALGENCAN.

FC = /usr/local/bin/g77
CC = g++
LD = gcc

FFLAGS = -O4 -fPIC -xf77-cpp-input
CFLAGS = -O4 -fPIC -Df2cFortran
INCFLAGS = -I/sw/include/octave-2.1.73 -I/sw/include/octave-2.1.73/octave 
           -I/sw/include
LFLAGS = -O4 -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib -lg2c
DL_LDFLAGS = -bundle -bundle_loader /sw/bin/octave-2.1.73

all:algencan.o octavewrapper.o
         $(LD) $(DL_LDFLAGS) $(LFLAGS) $? -o algencan.oct

algencan.o: algencan.f
         $(FC) $(FFLAGS) -c $? -o $@

octavewrapper.o: octavewrapper.c
         $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(INCFLAGS) -c $? -o $@
