Greetings,
I found Gary Kumfert's message
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2004-12/msg00213.html>, in
which he says
Why did support for FC disappear from libtool.m4 in my
"upgrade" from 1.5.4 to 1.5.10?
Aha! This would be why I can't use F9x compilers with libtool, then...
Ralf Wildenhues explained, later in that thread, that FC support hadn't
ever been part of libtool, and that the Fortran maintainer had had to
withdraw. Echoing Gary, this is indeed a pity, especially as the F77
interface is semi-deprecated in autoconf, in favour of the FC one (this
_is_ what we're talking about, isn't it?).
Gary (if you're still on this list): could I get a copy of the FC
support you patched in?
More generally: if Gary's fixes work OK, can they potentially go into
the libtool distribution (paperwork permitting) without there
necessarily being a formal Fortran Maintainer In Chief? I don't feel I
could volunteer for this, but also I don't much want to maintain a
branched local version (I have enough headaches with a local
automake!).
Best wishes,
Norman
