Main features

Here the main features are listed whereas for a complete list read all the documentation material (examples, wiki, etc...).

• Automatic parsing of files for dependency-hierarchy creation in case of use and include statements;
• automatic building of all programs found into the root directory parsed or only a specific selected target;
• avoid unnecessary re-compilation (algorithm based on file-timestamp value);
• simple command line interface;
• friendly support for external libraries linking:
  • direct linking with full libraries paths;
  • relative linking via extending linker search paths;
• support for widely used compilers:
  • GNU Fortran Compiler;
  • Intel Fortran Compiler;
  • g95 Fortran Compiler;
  • IBM XL Fortran Compiler;
  • NAG Fortran Compiler;
  • PGI Fortran Compiler;
• custom compiler support;
• configuration-files-free;
• ... but also configuration-file driven building for complex buildings;
• parallel compiling enabled by means of concurrent multiprocessing jobs;
• advanced automatic (re-)building algorithms:
  • automatic (re-)building when compiling flags change with respect the previous building;
  • automatic (re-)building when linked library change;
  • automatic building of projects upon which the actual project depends;
• advanced automatic micro-atomic introspective unittest support by means of doctests;
• generation of GNU Make makefile with rules fully supporting dependency-hierarchy for make-irreducible users;
• easy-extensible;
• well integrate with a flexible pythonic pre-processor, PreForM.py.

Any feature request is welcome.
