Cannot compile/run on macOS #3
Description
Hello, I've been following along in your book "Modern Fortran" to learn the basics of the language.
I made it all the way to chapter 11 (great book by the way!) and now I've encountered an issue with the c-binding business...
I was able to install/compile libdill with no errors following the commands given in section 11.1.2.
However, the initial versions of the files: mod_dill.f90, and server.f90 given in listings 11.2 and 11.3 in the textbook don't work for me.
I also tried jumping to the end of the chapter, cloning this repo, and following the instructions in the readme file that didn't work either (with a similar error).
I am able to compile both module/program with no issue,
>> gfortran -c mod_dill.f90 server.f90
which produces the binary files... but when it comes to linking them with,
>> gfortran mod_dill.o server.o -o server
I'm hit with:
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_dill_ipaddr_local", referenced from:
_MAIN__ in server.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
which suggests a leading underscore is being added to the libdill function dill_ipaddr_local at compile time? (I don't know C really at all), and thus bind(c,name="dill_ipaddr_local") can't find its binding?
In an effort to track this down further I wrote a simple hello_world.c program with a function to print "Hello world" and that encountered the same issue with the underscores unless I compile and link the c program with gfortran as well (instead of gcc)... but I'm not sure how I can apply this information to the compilation/binding of libdill.
Any help with this would be amazing - and I'm sure others working on macOS would benefit too.
Thank you.
