From: rudra on 15 Apr 2010 12:57 Dear friends, while I create a library using a makefile, that looks like liblm_a.a:MAIN/lm-lib.f90 MAIN/lm-lib-end.f90 $(lmobj) $(FC) -c MAIN/lm-lib.f90 MAIN/lm-lib-end.f90 $(lmobj) ar -rcs liblm_a.a lm-lib.o $(lmobj) lm-lib-end.o is it common for gfortran to give a message: gfortran: TETRA/tfermi.o: linker input file unused because linking not done here TETRA/tfermi.o is not important, it prompts same for all the files.

As you do not want to link already compiled files, you should simply remove the "$(lmobj)" at the end of the $(FC) line. Then the "$(FC) -c" line generates a few more .o files and in the next line, you combine the existing .o files ("$(lmobj)") with the just created ones (in the $(FC) line) into the library "liblm_a.a".

Allow me to observe that what is pretty much FAQ number 1 applies here. If you understood what the problem was, then you would not be asking for help. So odds are high that your guess as to what is important is wrong. In particular, I would say that TETRA/tfermi.o is exactly the issue - just like the message says. Your guess that it is not important is wrong. Fortunately, there is enough data here for me to make a better guess. I am having to guess that lmobj is defined to be (at least in part) TETRA/tfermi.o, although you don't actually show the definition. But in general, the same comments apply to asking for help with makefiles as with Fortran code. Context is important; in this case, context includes the definition of lmobj. The -c switch (which you appropriately use) tells the compiler to do compilation only, rather than compilation and linking. It makes no sense to specify something like TETRA/tfermi.o when doing compilation only. That is an object file that would have no effect on compilation. It is already the result of compiling (somethng else). It could be used in linking, but your -c switch tells the compiler not to do linking. So the compiler is telling you exactly what is happening - you have specified a file that has no relevance to what you asked the compiler to do. This is presumably not activelt harmful, but it is certainly odd enough to merit a warning message because it suggests a misunderstanding somewhere. -- Richard Maine | Good judgment comes from experience; email: last name at domain . net | experience comes from bad judgment. domain: summertriangle | -- Mark Twain
