Mortran fails to compile egs_app.

[RafaelOScatena]

All apps in the the HEN_HOUSE compiled and also mortran.exe but the user codes in EGS_HOME don't compile. I tryed gcc-12 and gcc-8.

Could you post your installation log, found in HEN_HOUSE/log?

Note that when you change compilers, you should delete/rename the whole folder and start fresh.

[RafaelOScatena]

this one is with gcc-11
config_linux64.log

I imagine these issues are fixed with: #1342

Currently that's only merged into the develop branch. But gcc-8 should work on the master (2025 release) branch. Do you have that log file? Your options are to try gcc8 again, or integrate the changes from PR #1342, or checkout the develop branch before installing (which will be overwritten before the 2026 release).
