[bedevtalk] Open Sum-It

[pete at jwgibbs.cchem.berkeley.edu]

[Wow -- somebody other than myself asking a question...! (:-/)]

I took a look, and I think I discovered the cause of your problems,
but not a solution.  It appears that when it tries to create the
dependencies, it wants to use a couple of executables: "rez" and "bsl".
I may have vague memories, way, way, back, of "rez", but I can't find
any sign of it in my [still existing!] R4 partition, which Sum-It is
claimed to run on.

I editied Makefile.main to remove the list of ".r" file dependecies
it creates, and then the makefile ran -- creating lots of object modules,
but then failed when it tried to work on the ".bsl" files -- whatever
they are.  (Didn't pursue the details...)

It looks like it uses the ".r" files to create final resources, so
I don't know if it can be made to work without "rez".  I suspect
it can, but it would be a lot of work.

Don't you just *love* Makefile Forests...?
