Fixing compat-g77 on suse 10.1

The standard compat-g77 package (on 10.1, but fixed for 10.2) does not contain cc1 which you need for the .F-fortran files. The solution I have used is to download the src.rpm and recompile it (inspired by this link).

If you can use my version (see below) then you can get the rpm here.

Else you have to do it the hard way!

• Install the package: bison
• Download the source from e.g.:
  http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/10.1/i586/compat-g77-3.3.5-16.i586.html
• Now go to where you downloaded the source and execute:
  rpm -iv compat-g77-3.3.5-16.src.rpm
• You now need to edit the specs:
  

  cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS
  emacs compat-g77.spec
  

  First change the line 286 from:
  

      rm -rf cc1 collect2
  

  to:
  

      #rm -rf cc1 collect2
      rm -rf collect2
  

  Then you go the top and remove the line saying:
  

  BuildRequires:  dejagnu doxygen
  

• Save the file and do:
  

  rpmbuild -ba compat-g77.spec
  

  This takes quite a while but in the end you should get the lines:

  Output:
  Wrote: /usr/src/packages/SRPMS/compat-g77-3.3.5-16.src.rpm
  Wrote: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/compat-g77-3.3.5-16.i586.rpm
  Wrote: /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/compat-g77-debuginfo-3.3.5-16.i586.rpm
  

• Go to the directory with the rpm and install it:

  cd /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586/
  zen-installer compat-g77-3.3.5-16.i586.rpm
