[svn-r20475] Purpose:
- Revise shared Fortran library disabling scenarios in configure
- Improve configure output summary
Description:
Shared Fortran libraries are not supported on Mac, but were being
disabled by configure in a way that also forced the C libraries
to be static-only. This has been fixed, so now only shared Fortran
is disabled while shared C can remain.
This prompted two additional changes:
1. While working on the check that addresses whether or not
shared Fortran libraries are allowed, removed old and no
longer needed check(s) that disable shared Fortran
libraries with HP, Intel 8, PGI, and Absoft compilers.
(Essentially, Mac is the only situation in which Fortran
shared are disabled by configure.)
2. Having two different states of libraries (i.e. shared C
library with static-only Fortran library) was not apparent
in the configure summary, which labeled all libraries as
either shared and/or static. I've added lines to both the
C++ and Fortran output sections to list shared/static-ness
of these libraries specifically.
Additionally, I've made sure that the new --enable-unsupported
configure option correctly overrides configure if it tries to
disable a shared library.
Tested:
