#15571: request - uniform Portfile standard to handle the different possibilities of Fortran compilers -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: davidh@ipac.caltech.edu | Owner: markd@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: guide | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I don't write code in Fortran, but some of the ports I use require Fortran. Different Portfiles depend on different Fortran compilers. Contrast fftw-3(g95, gfortran/gcc4.2, gfortan/gcc4.3) pgplot(g77 on PPC, gfortran/gcc4.2 on i386) and cfitsio(gfortran/gcc42). There are at least 4 compilers to choose from. My request: formulate a standard to allow any of the compilers to be selected with a variant. The fftw-3 Portfile comes closest with variants to select any one of 3 compilers. If possible, I'd like to see g77 deprecated. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15571> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
