[mpich-discuss] How can we generate source files corresponding to f77 binding

[Dave Goodell]

It's handled by autoconf.  Specifically, by the config.status script.  The config.status script is generated by configure and then executed at the end of the configure step.

This is all standard autoconf knowledge, which we can't really provide on this list.  You should consult the autoconf manual for more information:

There are options to buildiface to generate variations on the interfaces; though it is not yet in the distribution, I'm working on a version to handle the case where Fortran INTEGERs are different in size than C ints (which some applications still want).
