Summary0007591: XCode plugin interfere with CMake behaviour
DescriptionCMake does not support the generation of XCode projects containing Fortran files. This is known and indeed XCode itself does not support it. However it does exist an XCode plugin (http://maxao.free.fr/xcode-fortran-plugin/ [^]) that introduces support for fortran in XCode. If this plugin is installed, CMake fails to produce an XCode project file because validation of gfortran fails. This seems to be an incorrect behaviour, because the fortran compiler is the same, whatever is the XCode plugin. The error message is in the attached file.
Note that gfortran continues working fine with and without plugin, but for some reason CMake believes that in case the plugin is installed in ~Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/XCode, it has to look for the linker in /Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/CoreBuildTasks.xcplugin/Contents/Resources/gcc, which is a non-existing file.
I believe validation of the compiler should proceed in the same way with or without plugins.

 After some more debugging, I found one single line that is the offender. The line is in the fortran.pbcompspec files, which describes how to compile a source file and it is the line

             FileTypes = (sourcecode.fortran);

This line seems to be correct, and therefore I cannot explain why CMake changes the linker when this line is uncommented.

 CMake is not actually running when you get the error. It is an Xcode issue. CMake is creating an Xcode project that the fortran plugin does not like for some reason. If you can figure out what needs to be changed in the project.pbxproj
file to make this work, I can make that change in the cmake Xcode generator.

 Perhaps you should ask the xcode fortran plugin code developers to help here?

 I have done some more investigation on this. With the latest cvs version of cmake the error goes away, however the .F .f etc. files are still imported in Xcode with the type sourcecode, while it should be sourcecode.fortran. If this is changed in Xcode, then, provided a suitable fortran plugin is installed, everything seems to work. So I would like to turn this bug report into a feature request, that the .F .f etc files be added to Xcode by the CMake generator as sourceode.fortran, as it seems reasonable, whether or not Xcode can do something with them afterwards or not.
