[gmx-developers] building gmx-mopac is quite tedious... why ?

[Alexey Shvetsov]

Actualy i made similar thing about 2 yars ago for gentoo
I created script that modifyes mopac sources so they became compatible with
gromacs also this script creates two libs
libgmxmopac.so.0.0.0 and its static version

(both were made without f2c)
