hello
i installed gcc+nvptx using your script.
gcc version 11.2 was installed normally, and I tried to compile a simple openACC FORTRAN program with gfortran.
but i get following errors:

gfortran -O3 -fopenacc -ffree-line-length-none -foffload=nvptx-none -c global_parameters_mod.F90

Anyone who knows about this issue, please help.
thanks.

I have not tried offloading since I wrote the blog post 5 years ago, so my knowledge is a bit rusty... But I think you need to add -foffload=-lm when linking nemolite2d.exe. I also thought you would need -foffload=nvptx-none when linking, but the error message mentions nvptx, so maybe that isn't necessary (but it would not hurt... :) )

Thanks to your advice, the problem has been resolved.
Thank you very much.
