[LLVMdev] llvm-gfortran gives errors on AMD64-Ubuntu

Hi,

this works here on x86-64 ubuntu 8.10.  I took a look in my libgfortran.a
and it doesn't reference any of the symbols you mention.

This is a library function for doing 64 bit unsigned rem.
On a 64 bit machine you shouldn't need to call a library
function for this!  Are you sure you didn't mix up 64 bit
and 32 bit somewhere?

The reason for this is that Fortran outputs the entry point
into your program as MAIN__ not main.  Instead "main" is
defined in libgfortranbegin; it does some initialization
(exception handling, command line arguments, others?) then
calls MAIN__.  I don't know much about lli, so hopefully
someone else can explain how to handle this situation.

You need to link with -lgfortranbegin.

I don't know, sorry.

Best wishes,
