Consider deprecating this repo

[ibell]

@jowr et al., I have (in my NIST capacity), developed a CMake-based workflow for building the REFPROP shared library reliably on windows/linux/OSX, with the nicest feature: all the functions are ALSO output with mixed case when compiling with gfortran. It is exceptionally easy to use the cmake workflow, and I would appreciate testing from folks.

The repo is here: https://github.com/usnistgov/REFPROP-cmake

[jowr]

Very nice! I hope that NIST maintains the repo. What about MATLAB? It seems that most people that come here need REFPROP for MATLAB on either OSX or Linux.

@ibell Glad to hear NIST is taking on this responsibility, but I wouldn't suggest deprecating it until it's a full replacement. At 18 days it's hardly 'proven'. This has been in use for years.

@Rodbourn, I'd be happy to have you try out our cmake build system and report bugs. I think it should be quite a bit more reliable - that has been the experience thus far. But we'll only know once we get testers. I don't have plans to remove @jowr 's hard work, just offer a new alternative that should be useful to a lot of folks. You can also build with visual studio + Intel fortran.

On a ubuntu 15.10 64 bits machine:

sudo apt-get install cmake gfortran
git clone https://github.com/usnistgov/REFPROP-cmake.git
cd REFPROP-cmake
git submodule init
git submodule update
cp -R <REFPROP fortran folder location> FORTRAN   # fortran folder needs to be uppercase
cd FORTRAN
for i in *.F; do mv -- "$i" "${i/%.F/.FOR}"; done   # fortran files are expected to have a .FOR extension
sed -i -e 's/      dll_export/c     dll_export/' PASS_FTN.FOR   # no DLL export for GNU/Linux
cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

The simplest way to test the newly built libREFPRP64.so is to use the file testRP.m which requires MATLAB. As I have not the software on this computer, I'll test it next week, at work. I would like to test it using a simple FORTRAN code, is one of you have that at hand? @jowr or @ibell ?

@ibell Thanks, we're looking forward to a smoother version of this install.

When I try to follow your instructions,

cmake ..
  ...
  CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:86 (file):
    file COPY cannot find "[mydir]/REFPROP-cmake/gfortran: warning:
    couldn’t understand kern.osversion ‘15.5.0

Do you know whats going on here? Could be I'm making a simple mistake as I haven't used CMake before.

[ibell]

Can you provide the complete build log?
