I am a little confused as to what you are trying to do. Are you
building a DLM? Or do you just have some c and fortran code that you
are trying to build which you'll call via SPAWN?


If you're building a DLM I can't answer your question but I can offer a
few nuggets.

An IDL dlm makefile entry for OSX has these flags:

gcc -O2 -I$(IDL_DIR)/external -no-cpp-precomp -dynamic \
-fPIC -fno-common -D_REENTRANT myDLM.c

gcc -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -bundle -o myDLM.so myDLM.o

I don't run OSX so I can't say if this works but there you go...


Or better yet, can you use MAKE_DLL? Check out the docs and
build_testmodule.pro in $IDL_DIR/external/dlm


Have you looked at Stein Vidar Hagfors Haugan's "dlmform"? I just did a
search and while his server was down the page was cached on google. It
is a perl script that will build the c wrapper for your fortran code
automagically. Don't know if that will help.


If you're *not* making a DLM then, well. I can't help :(
