The dependencies of Fortran libraries on other Fortran libraries must be PUBLIC
If Fortran module A
uses module (even privately) B
:
- some compilers (e.g. NAG) will insist on
b.mod
being available (e.g. via the-I
flag) wheneverA
is used; - some compilers (e.g. Cray) will insist on
b.o
being available (e.g. via the-l
flag) wheneverA
is used.
Hence, if a Fortran library depends on another Fortran library, the dependency has to be PUBLIC
, which is not currently the case (e.g. see here). It would be great to fix that.
