Subject: gFortran problem compiling complex character strings
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 08:53:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4762447C.2080702@tuckley.org> (raw)

I'm currently trying to build libhdf4 on armel with gfortran.

colin@muscat:~$ gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.2.3 20071123 (prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-4)


One of the test programs contains the statement:

 print *, 'Try one of "Skip", "Test", "Verbosity" or "Cleanup"'

which fails to compile giving:

gfortran -g -O2 -c fortestF.f
fortestF.f:193.20:

           print *, 'Try one of "Skip", "Test", "Verbosity" or "Cleanup"
                   1
Error: Unterminated character constant beginning at (1)


If I remove the double quote characters from inside the string then it
compiles ok.

Is this a compiler error/problem? A configuration problem? or something else?

regards,

Colin
