I apologize for this note but this list has been far better to me than Usenet, and I'm hoping someone knowledgable with programming could make some suggestions. I need to compile parts of a program which requires appropriate modifications to the Makefiles' lines setting the various options for compiling. While interested in learning some basic skills in C/C++ at some point, my last real program was in APL about 20 years ago. I have no idea what is good/bad/ugly about the options given. I know that I could simply run with what's there and see if that works, but I'm concerned both about what any error messages may mean, and whether the compile is the best I could do. [The application is designed to perform quantum mechanical and molecular dynamics calculations leading to understanding interactions between macro- and micromolecular structures; these are very extensive, time-consuming runs.] I'm up to slink when in Debian. I'm sorry about the length of the post. I've attached the two (edited) Makefiles as one (OS/2) gzip'd file. Some of the options I think I know (isn't the C++ compiler actually g++ ??), but mostly I'm clueless ... Would someone mind greatly giving me their best shot at these? I'd _Really_ appreciate it!
