[CMake] Fortran good and bad

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

>> should I be looking at cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator, or cmGlobalVisualStudio10Generator/cmGlobalVisualStudio10Win64Generator or one of the base classes?

I didn't get any reply to this, so I would like to ask instead

There is a VisualStudio GlobalGenerator, LocalGenerator and TargetGenerator. I can't find any particularly useful description of what roles these should play (and how they interact). To add support for the fortran composer I have started modifying the cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator, by just stuffing in checks for FortranProject and then directly modifying various calls to write out stuff. Not got very far yet.

Does anyone have 5 minutes to explain how these classes -should- interact with each other so that I can make my changes as minimally intrusive as possible.

thanks

JB

BIll,

>Kitware has not had the funding or access to a Fortran compiler that 
works with VS 2010.  So, that has not yet been implemented.

I've got two projects that are using fortran heavily, so I may have a go at fixing up the generator.
If I were to spend a few days improving the fortran support for VS2010 - which classes should I concentrate on? (It's been a while since I looked at the cmake source, so I can't quite remember how it all fits together, should I be looking at cmVisualStudio10TargetGenerator, or cmGlobalVisualStudio10Generator/cmGlobalVisualStudio10Win64Generator or one of the base classes?)

Thanks in advance for any pointers

JB
