Description

The M_random(3fm) module contains routines to support pseudorandom number generation. This includes supplements for the Fortran intrinsic random_seed(3f).

Building the Module using Make(1)

 git clone https://github.com/urbanjost/M_random.git
 cd M_random/src
 # change Makefile if not using one of the listed compilers
 
 # for gfortran
 make clean
 make F90=gfortran gfortran
 
 # for ifort
 make clean
 make F90=ifort ifort

 # for nvfortran
 make clean
 make F90=nvfortran nvfortran

This will compile the Fortran module and basic example program that exercise the routine.

Build and Test with FPM

Alternatively, download the github repository and build it with fpm ( as described at Fortran Package Manager )

     git clone https://github.com/urbanjost/M_random.git
     cd M_random
     fpm run "*"
     fpm run --example "*"
     fpm test

or just list it as a dependency in your fpm.toml project file.

        [dependencies]
        M_random        = { git = "https://github.com/urbanjost/M_random.git" }
