fortran compiling on scripted tops10

[statespacedev]

doing first compiles on scripted tops10 and will just share what am seeing -
this is with the scripted fortran install from tape rich already has there in the library -
.R FORTRA
*^C
.VERSION
FORTRA 10(2530) +
we're just trying it to see - believe we're gonna need fortran-10 v6
scripted install from tape of fortran-10 v6 from https://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/ -
tape image https://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/tapes/BB-D480C-SB_1981.tap.bz2

.LOGIN DECWAR
Job 3 KL703 CTY

.COMP PARAM
FORTRAN: PARAM
...snip...
%FTNWRN MAIN. No fatal errors and 28 warnings

.COMP LOWSEG
FORTRAN: LOWSEG
...snip...
?FTNFTL MAIN. 18 fatal errors and 1 warning

later note - hmmm, wondering now how informative this test really was - more news coming soon down below

[statespacedev]

do have to suspect if we can install the fortran v6 tape, those two shooooooould work...
now starting to really focus on that v6 tape image -
https://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/tapes/BB-D480C-SB_1981.tap.bz2
and eventual 'do fort10v6.do' command and subscript to have right in here... comment out 'do fort10.do', uncomment 'do fort10v6.do'...?:)

;do fort10.do
do fort10v6.do
do kermit.do

got that tap file in among rich's collection now

noah@raspberrypi:~ $ cd tops703/tapes/
noah@raspberrypi:~/tops703/tapes $ ls -hl

ok - lots of progress - and good news!!! will try to keep this concise

took the fort10.do script from rich and simply changed the tap file name to point to the f10v6 tap - in a christmas miracle, this ran with very very few complaints - think there may have been one or a very few at the very end about copying/installing things - this may be relevant below

kermitted in the needed files and did the commands we've used in the past

.compile @com1
.compile @com2
.r link
*@can1

!!!the compiles all looked good!!!:) really started to think we got it! the linker died though

.R LINK
*@CAN1
%LNKFLE LOOKUP error (0) file was not found SYS:FORLIB.REL
[       Please retype the incorrect parts of the file specification]

guess right now is that slight glitch in the fort10.do script may not have copied that FORLIB.REL to the right place - could be if we get that FORLIB.REL going, we'll get it all!
will try tinkering with that fort10.do script next - actually, calling it 'fort10v6.do':)

wootwoot!!! gotta celebrate a little guys! @drforbin @rcornwell
decwar is building and running on rich's scripted tops10!!!
got f10v6 going - committed the three key scripts in here https://github.com/drforbin/decwar/tree/minimalist/docs/tops703
one of those totally confusing days - don't understand everything that happened by any means - but will try to give a nutshell tomorrow:)
main thing is - screenshot of scripted tops10 'decwar machine'

[statespacedev]

trying to jot down notes from 'what can remember' of yesterday:) those can be right here
https://github.com/drforbin/decwar/blob/minimalist/docs/sec6-scripted-tops10-setup.md#notes-around-getting-f10v6-and-decwar-going

could be time to move on to next topic - making decwar tap file! will start a separate markdown file and discussion thread for that
