Subject: [gps-developers] Compiling algo and RnxToMblk
Message-ID: <442862EB.2000003@haystack.mit.edu>

Marlene run into a problem using the algo and RnxToMblk exectuable we
use to convert rinex files into text files with preliminary TEC values. 
These two program are very much legacy code written in C++.  The problem
was that more than 2000 stations had been added over time to the text
file adb.txt, and the maximum number of stations is hardcoded.  Changing
the hard-coded value was easy, recompiling was not so easy.

With gcc 3.4 and 4.0, compiling caused a large number of errors.  With
gcc versions before 3.0, compiling also causes errors.  I did manage to
get the program recompiled on apollo using gcc 3.2.2 without errors.  I
have no interest in upgrading this code further, so we may need to keep
an old version of gcc around just for this code.

The new exectuable that allows up to 5000 stations is now on orca.
