Summary0014231: external project doesn't pass CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to subprojects
DescriptionWhen building an external project (ExternalProject_Add) that depends on Fortran, the CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER doesn't get passed to the external project. I would guess that the other Fortran build options aren't passed either.
Steps To Reproduce1) Download the ParaView superbuild repo at http://review.source.kitware.com/#/t/2904/ [^]
2) Set the Fortran compiler to a non-default value.
3) Enable the nektar reader plugin (ENABLE_nektarreader) and ParaView (ENABLE_paraview)
4) Configure and build and note that in the paraview/src/paraview-build that there will be the default Fortran compiler that CMake finds.

ExternalProject_Add doesn't pass any language's compiler to the external project by default. Selecting a non-default C or C++ compiler in the outer project will not propagate either. It is up to your calls to pass the compilers through CMAKE_FLAGS if you want to propagate them.
