Adding Applications to OBELIX

Miscellaneous applications can be added to OBELIX in the directory /lsoft1/asterix/obelix/misc. This is useful for small bits of code which require compiling and installing for the various platforms.

Here is a simple example to place the application mycode.f into OBELIX (assumed to be a stand-alone ASTERIX program),

• cd /lsoft1/asterix/obelix/misc # move to the correct directory
• cp user/src/myprog.f # copy over the source code
• ci myprog.f # check-in the source to the RCS directory, supply an ID string
• vi appgrp.config # add in the file dependency to F_APPLIC
• GEN_make appgrp.config # build a new Makefile with the extra dependency included
• mk rebuild # remove any old built files and re-build the package

The Makefile can be editted by hand if the GEN_make script does not produce a workable version, though any changes thus added are liable to be lost.
