Hi,

I managed to compile abinit 5.6.3 on Solaris with the Sun Studio compiler.
However there are a few bugs in the make mechanism, that I had to fix.

1. The Sun Studio compiler needs the include/module directory set (for 
the *.mod file). However the option is different from e.g. GNU and Intel 
which use -I. (-I is set with the path the .mod files)
If the Sun Compiler is not supported, then is can be ignored.

My workaround is to specify all the module directories as Fortran 
Compiler Flags:
-M$BASEDIR/src/defs -M$BASEDIR/plugins/bigdft 
-M$BASEDIR/plugins/bigdft/bigdft-1.0-1/src/PSolver 
-M$BASEDIR/plugins/wannier90/wannier90-1.1/src/

2. the wannier compilation is ignoring FCOPTS (which may caused problems 
on other systems as well)
plugins/wannier90/wannier90-1.1/src/Makefile line 13 - 14 :
prog: $(OBJS)
        $(F90) wannier_prog.F90 $(LDOPTS) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) -o ../wannier90.x
a file is compiled and linked, so imho the $(FCOPTS) should be added.
(otherwise e.g. 32 or 64 bit options will be ignored and build probably 
fail)

3. make install fails
the step I do are:
configure
make
make install

Making install in tests fails. There are several files not found (which 
do not exist)
e.g. ,log

Editing the Makefile and removing them from the install list helps.

I can understand that nobody ran into the first 2 problems, however the 
last seems to be a general problem.


best regards,
Samuel
