Since using the PGI Fortran compiler, use the PGI C++ compiler as well.

[jdew]

I'm using the pgi 1710 community edition compilers from pgilinux-2017-1710-x86_64.tar.gz

I needed to make these changes to get this to compile with just the pgi compilers installed.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. The usual UNIX industry standard is that the module-search directive should be -I<directory> with no space (a space would be a directive "delete all current module-search directives", which would subsequently be followed by new module-search directives). PGI wants -module <directory> _with" a space. And I can't make both of these work with "make"-variables, if the quoting isn't there. A little further experimentation shows that single quotes (') are what is needed instead of double quotes ("): MODI = '-module ' (where note the extra blank before the second quote). The use of a backslash to escape the trailing blank (MODI = -module\ ) does NOT work ;-( For the "m3tools" case, the modules are in the current build-directory already, so the specification of an additional module search directory is not needed. That, however, is not the case for various other software... Thanks for pointing out the issue. I'll correct it soon, and credit you for pointing it out.

This doesn't solve the issue though.

On a ubuntu xenial lts container I just created, added the git and build-essential packages and the pgi compilers.
I've added the following packages:
git
build-essential
libnetcdf-dev
libnetcdff-dev

I get:
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/ioapi-3.2/m3tools'
cd /root/ioapi-3.2/Linux2_x86_64pg; pgf90 -I/root/ioapi-3.2/ioapi '-module ' /root/ioapi-3.2/Linux2_x86_64pg -DFLDMN=1 -DAUTO_ARRAYS=1 -DF90=1 -DNDEBUG -O2 -V -Mnosecond_underscore -DFLDMN=1 -DAUTO_ARRAYS=1 -DF90=1 -DNDEBUG -c /root/ioapi-3.2/m3tools/airs2m3.f
pgf90-Error-Unknown switch: -module
Makefile:175: recipe for target 'airs2m3.o' failed
make[1]: *** [airs2m3.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/ioapi-3.2/m3tools'
Makefile:198: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

Removing the quotes let it compile again. White space after the -module on the variable in the makefile is maintained

I guess the cpp compiler isn't used at all?
