Programming

I have an issue with some fortran include files.

I have the following src directory structure,

trunk/src/client_main
trunk/src/client_models
trunk/src/server

The make file is at trunk/makefile.

In /src/client_main there are some included dependencies,
COMMON.BLK
PARAM.DAT
ERRORS.DAT

One complication is that there are nested includes such that the file PARAM.DAT has an include statement,

INCLUDE 'ERRORS.DAT'

These files also need to be included in src files in /src/client_models. In the past I have been able to do this by using a relative path for the include.

Code:

// trunk/src/client_models/SRC.FOR

INCLUDE '../client_main/PARAM.DAT'

Recently, when compiling under SUSE 12.1, the compiler complained about this. The problem was the INCLUDE 'ERRORS.DAT' in the PARAM.DAT file. While Cygwin, Cent, Scientific, and Ubuntu are able to locate the ERRORS.DAT file, the g++ 4 compiler under SUSE complained and gave me a file not found.

I would like to have this set up so that it will compile under all versions with the same syntax without doing some thing lame like putting a second copy of the dependencies in the src/client_models/ folder. Is there a baisc method for putting all of the included files in one place and being able to include them to src in different locations?

I have seen some thing implemented in the make where you specified an include location that was part of the compiler flags, but I'm not sure exactly how that worked.

I can probably post something to test if I haven't made this clear.

Thanks,
