Hi, I have been trying to compile and link some fortran code that makes
use of a few C functions. The original came from an RS6000 BTW.
Now if I compile the C stuff and place it in a lib with "ar rvs libact.a
*.o) where *.o came from compiling (with djgpp) the C stuff it seems to
work and I can see the members etc in the new lib.

The problem happens when I try and compile the fortran using the
libact.a, I get undefined function errors cos say the C function is
called "cls()" the the linker seems to want to find "cls_"

If I rename the actual function to cls_ then I can get it to link if i
specify the actual cls.o file on the compile line but NOT if i put it
into a lib.

Anyone got any ideas on this please as there are in fact somit like 70
odd c functions / object files so I do not wana have to put em all on
the compile line individually,

Thanks

Huw
