dh_fortran_mod(1)

dh_fortran_mod1

Install fortran 90 .mod files and add dependency information.

Usage

dh_fortran_mod [--sourcedir=dir] [$<debhelper options>]

Overview

dh_fortran_mod is a debhelper program that finds Fortran module and submodule files and adds dependencies to gfortran-$version as required to the package using via the variable ${fortran:Depends}.

dh_fortran_mod is expected to be automatically added using the debhelper "addon" fortran_mod ie. either automatically, by build-depending on 'dh-sequence-fortran-mod', or explicitly:

    dh $@ --with fortran_mod

dh_fortran_modSearches the debian/ directory for files debian/pkg.fortran-mod$ which list module files to include, with the same syntax as debhelper install files.

Options

--sourcedir=dir

Look in the specified directory for files to be installed.

Typically Fortran module files are included in library development packages.

Todo

Add dh-fortran-mod support for generic fortran compilers (ifx, etc).

dh_fortran_mod will be expanded to find mod files automatically from the debian/tmp directory. It will enable the installation of mod files in parallel for multiple compilers. It will install .smod files for Fortran 2018.

The fortran-mod file syntax follows dh_install: pairs of sources and optional target directories. The default directory will be $fmoddir ( /usr/lib/$multiarch/fortran/$compiler_mod_directory/) If the target directory is absolute (starts with a '/'), this directory is used in the target package. If the target does not absolute, it will be treated as a subdirectory of $fmoddir.

Currently four flavours of Fortran compiler are supported: gfortran-* ('gfortran'), flang-new-* ('flang') , flang-to-external-fc-* ('flangext') and lfortran ('lfortran').

$compiler_mod_directory is based on the compiler module version: currently gfortran-mod-15 for gfortran-14 (and older), flang-mod-15 for flang-new-15+ and lfortran-mod-0 for lfortran.

For flang-to-external-fc-* the version is flangext-mod-15 (assuming gfortran-14 as the external compiler); in principle flang-to-external-fc ('flangext' flavour) and gfortran are intercompatible but intermixing is avoided.

These will be updated for incompatible compiler versions.

Support for Makefiles and debian/rules is given in /usr/share/debhelper/dh-fortran/fortran-support.mk

This enables, for example:

        /usr/share/debhelper/dh-fortran/fortran-support.mk
        FMODDIR:= $(call get_fmoddir, gfortran)
        FC_EXE:= $(call get_fc_exe, $(FC_DEFAULT))
