fmake

fmake is a small script for the easy creation of makefile for Fortran (standard 90 or higher) projects. The aim is to easily create the compiling rules with the correct hierarchy for inter-dependent modules, a task that could be very boring for big project with many source files.

The created makefile can produce colorful std-output and save compilation errors and warnings on separate log files.

Usage

help

fmake has a simple help documentation. Run:

fmake -h

and the help printed is as following:

  fmake 0.1: a small script for the easy creation of makefile for Fortran (standard 90 or higher) projects
  the aim is to easily create the compiling rules with the correct hierarchy for inter-dependent modules
  Usage: fmake [options [args]]
  Options:
    -h
      print this help message
    -s [dir]
      dir = directory containing source files .[fF][90,95,03,08,2k], default './src/'
    -m [makefile]
      makefile = file name of the output makefile, default 'makefile'
    -header or -hd [header]
      header = file containing the 'user defined header' of makefile, it is not used by default
      Note:
           if no header file is used a very basic header of the makefile is automatically created by fmake
           and the user must check the makefile before use it
    -fc [fortran_compiler]
      fortran_compiler = name of Fortran compiler, default 'gfortran'
    -dobj [dir_obj]
      dir_obj = compiled objects directory name, default './obj/'
    -dmod [dir_mod]
      dir_mod = module interfaces directory name, default './mod/'
    -dexe [dir_exe]
      dir_exe = executable programs directory name, default './'
    -optc ['compiling_options']
      compiling_options = compiling options, default '-c -J$(DMOD)'
    -optl ['linking_options']
      linking_options = linking options, default ''
    -libs ['libraries_list']
      libraries_list = external libraries to be linked, default ''
    -simple
      produce a simple makefile without colorful output and compilation errors/warnings log files
  Note:
       The hierarchy of compiling rules is made up without the intrinsic modules, namely the 'OMP_LIB' and 'MPI' modules.

makefile creation

Let us assume your source files are in "sources" directory. A colorful makefile without customized header can be created by

fmake -s sources/

A very simple makefile without colourful std-output and log files cab be created by

fmake -s sources/ -simple

If you want a more complicated makefile with customized header you can use your own header file:

fmake -s sources/ -header YourHeaderFile

Note that by default a file named makefile is created. Its name can be changed by the CLI switch "-m YourCustomName"

ToDo

• Recursive search for source files;
• GUI.
