a bug(typo) in Linux-gfortran.mk

[leonjld]

there are some kind of option of "-ffree-line-length-none" which ought to be "ffixed-line-length-none'. I think it's a typo?

[leonjld]

otherwise the whole compiling and running experience is quite smooth.

I used to try the ROMS on the Sun workstations in the lab, but unfortunately ROMS does not work on it (and I still have no idea why so). Finally I formatted my labtop and installed ubuntu Linux on it. The system turned out to be quite good for ROMS

How does it not work? Does it not compile? Not link? Not run? Run, but crash?

Thanks for asking. I have posted the problem before, please refer to:

I guess probably because the Sun machine is too old? Or maybe it does not have enough memory. Anyway, I can run ROMS 3.0 on my own laptop now.

It's not a typo. It's there to make sure the preceding "-ffree-form" option isn't limited to 132 characters, which was causing a problem at least in CYGWIN when USE_DEBUG was defined.

For a description of these options, see:
