508	Assignment of SCRATCH_DIR in the main Makefile out of place	colucix	arango	"I'd like to report a minor bug in the latest revision 554. At the beginning of the main ''makefil''e, has been added the assignment

{{{
  libraries  := $(SCRATCH_DIR)/libUTIL.a
}}}

but the SCRATCH_DIR environment variable is assigned afterward, after the end of the user-defined section. We should move the assignment of SCRATCH_DIR at the beginning, to avoid an error at compilation time, e.g.

{{{
make: *** No rule to make target `/libUTIL.a', needed by `oceanM'.  Stop
}}}

where is obvious that the value $(SCRATCH_DIR) is still null."	bug	new	trivial	Release ROMS/TOMS 3.5	Nonlinear	3.5		makefile
