[f2py] F2PY, Mac Intel, gfortran/ifort fixes?

[Louis Wicker]

James:

first, you can fix your library problem by adding a library load to  
the f2py command.  For example, taking the hello.f example from the  
f2py web page,  the command

  f2py -c -m hello hello.f --fcompiler=gfortran

would be

f2py -c -m hello hello.f --fcompiler=gfortran -L/Library/Frameworks/ 
Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.5/config -lpython2.5

this also works (is needed for python2.4 in a similar fashion).  Not  
sure why this is not being done - may be a change starting with  
python2.4

If you wanted to use the Intel compiler, the ../distutils/fcompiler/ 
intel.py file would need to be edited to change the loader line at the

#       'linker_so'    : [fc_exe,"-shared"],			#  original line
         'linker_so'    : [fc_exe,"-O0","-bundle"],		#  edited line

the -O0 is needed to keep the ipa from running, I could never figure  
how to shut it off.

Be aware that Intel will be shipping both a 32 bit and a 64 bit  
compiler with version 10 for the Mac (and probably all the other  
platforms).  I have beta tested the Mac 64 bit compiler (and its  
really nice, 20%+ faster than the 32 bit).  Also, Absoft is shipping  
their v10 compiler for the Intel Mac, it is 64 bit as well.  Right  
now, I have only 32 bit versions working with Python 2.5, I have yet  
to try and hack the 64 bit version of any compiler (and I only have  
the Intel).

Also, I believe this same type of fix will work with g95.

Hope this helps.
