\section{Makefiles}
\par
Each object's {\tt src/} and (possibly) {\tt drivers/} directories
have their own makefile.
Each of these makefiles ``includes'' (via an include statement)
the file {\tt Make.inc} from the top level directory.\footnote{
Many thanks go to Clay Breshears from CEWES, 
{\tt clay@turing.wes.hpc.mil},
for the prototype {\tt Make.inc} file.
}
This is the file where one sets the following parameters.
\begin{itemize}
\item
{\tt CC} is your favorite C compiler.
\item
{\tt OPTLEVEL} is the compiler's optimization level.
\item
{\tt CFLAGS} is the compiler's compilation flags,
which normally includes the {\tt OPTLEVEL} data.
\item
{\tt LDFLAGS} are load flags for executables.
\item
{\tt THREAD\_LIBS} are system dependent libraries for multithreaded
programs.
\item
{\tt PURIFY} and {\tt PURIFY\_GCC\_VERSION} deal with the Purify
program from PureAtria.
This is a handy program that detects memory leaks, overwriting of
storage, and the like.
Most of the code at one point or another has been run through
Purify.
\item
{\tt AR} and {\tt ARFLAGS} are the loader and its flags.
\item
{\tt RANLIB} is used when the library must be postprocessed to get
a symbol table.
(Some systems still use {\tt ranlib}.)
% including my ancient home NeXTStation where a
% good deal of development was done.)
If {\tt ranlib} is not needed (as on most systems), {\tt RANLIB} is
set to {\tt echo} to echo out the library name
during the {\tt make} process.
\item
The {\tt .c.o} and {\tt .c.a} suffix rules are defined.
\item
{\tt MPI\_INSTALL\_DIR} is the installation directory for MPI.
\item
{\tt MPI\_LIB\_PATH} is the library path for MPI.
\item
{\tt MPI\_LIBS} are the libraries needed for MPI programs.
\item
{\tt MPI\_INCLUDE\_DIR} is the include directory for MPI.
\end{itemize}
The {\tt Make.inc} file contains several different values for each
of the parameters along with some comments about which lines are
for which system.
We have found most of this to be fairly straightforward, but
getting the thread libraries and MPI libraries correct may take a
bit of doing. Contact your local system administrator for help.
