You have to separate the fortran from the C to get it to work with the 
IDE project files.  So, all the fortran needs to be in its own 
add_library call.  You can combine them with the makefiles in CMake but 
VS has the restriction that the fortran has to be in a separate target.

Something like this should work:

add_library(fortranlib f1.f f2.f ...)
add_library(clib c1.c c2.c ...)
target_link_libraries(clib fortranlib)
