The case of libraries

Loading a library module allows you to compile without applying -I ... or -L ... options related to the library in question in a Makefile, if the Intel compiler is used. The same Makefile can then be used on several computer centers that have set up a module for the library in question.

For the general structure of Makefiles, examples can be found in the /soft/makefiles directory.
