That is  surprising. The combination of C++ (GUI) and Fortran
(science/engineering number crunching) is going to be a common one and
I had assumed I was doing something wrong.

Is there no cmake variable for the fortran library I can add to the
list of what to link?

Perhaps but a number of tools/problems push us towards using static
libraries at least when developing.

If this is what is required has nobody done it years ago?
