[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51961] integer argument size conflict in ranlib when building with 64-bit Fortran support

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51961 (project octave):

I would be ok with closing this as won't fix for now.

The problem arises when the _default_ FFLAGS is set to include
"-fdefault-integer-8", so all Fortran is compiled with 64-bit INTEGERs. Or if
one happens to have a Fortran compiler that works with 64-bit INTEGERs by
default.

This problem does not occur when the default Fortran compilation environment
builds 32-bit INTEGERs, but the F77_INTEGER_8_FLAG is set to
"-fdefault-integer-8" (or other compiler-specific option) and only used to
compile the Fortran files that have to do with BLAS and other external
libraries.

All Fortran files under liboctave/external/ranlib must continue to be built
with 32-bit INTEGERs always, while all other Fortran files under
liboctave/external and liboctave/util must be built with the same INTEGER size
that was used in the BLAS and other external numerical libraries.
