Re: [photran] Automatic make with gfortran

[Arjan van Dijk <Arjan.van.Dijk@xxxxxxx>]

Automatic make-file generation with dependency-honouring
offering of the files to the compiler is highly useful! A "feature"
of mkmf.pl that is "less optimal" is that it has problems when
it finds several source files for the same MODULE. In my project I have
several flavours for a particular MODULE. I copy the relevant one into
the generic name <modulename>.f90 before I start compiling. mkmf.pl
does not like different versions of the same module to be around, since
it cannot decide which one to USE. Also: in my project directory there
may be half-finished test-programs. Mkmf.pl crashes when it finds out that
not all sources to compile a half-finished test-program exist. This should
be irrelevant as long as I don't try to compile such a program. These are
just caveats that can be solved.
