CMake Fortran Issues

Introduction

CMake has a number of Fortran issues that have been discussed many different times on list and duplicated a fair number of times in the bug tracker as well.

Maik Beckmann is trying to make sense of all the confusion by collecting information on all Fortran issues at http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=5809

Please join the work there by

• Contributing patches.
• Testing the patches that already exist there.
• Reporting things that don't work.
• Sending simplified examples of things which don't work.
• Sharing your expert knowledge of CMake.

Concepts expressed using Makefiles

This section is intended to discuss the makefile rules which CMake has to generate have to look like.

A simple program

A f9x program which is build by compiling in linking two source files a.f90 and main.f90. The tree structure is:

• example_simpleProgram
  • build
    • Makefile
    • prog.dir
      • build.make
  • main.f90
  • a.f90

<a.f90> </a.f90>

<main.f90> </main.f90>

<Makefile> </Makefile>

<build.make>

</build.make>
