The procedure "gmkpack" used at GMAP to compile, build archive libraries and make executables in the framework of ARPEGE/ALADIN has been recently improved in the scope of its portability. The aim is :

first to enable its installation on any other platform than the Fujitsu machine of Météo-France ;

second to enable an independent group of developpers to create and use complete "main" source packs with it.

While the first point looks achieved, the second one is still under progress. From now this new version is available for tests and it should become the default one by the end of the year.
