Description Ohad Gur CLA 2010-05-05 13:20:16 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

When I try to build a fortran-static-library the project does not recognise the source files. Here is an example for a simple "hello world" project:


**** Build of configuration Debug for project Hello ****

Nothing to build for project Hello

An executable project works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. File -> New -> Fortran project
choose: static library, define a name, 
2. Next
3. Finish
4. Add file to the project (e.g using import)
5. Build project (ctrl+B)

You said:
1. File -> New -> Fortran project
choose: static library, define a name, 

Do you mean "Static Library > Empty Project" or "Static Library (Intel Fortran)"?

I meant Static Library -> Empty Project

That is actually a project type for C/C++ static libraries, not Fortran, so it only recognizes C/C++ source files.

The New Fortran Project dialog in Photran 5 contains both C and Fortran project types, and unfortunately the name CDT chose for this project type obviously makes it impossible to tell that it only works with C/C++ source files.

This will be fixed in Photran 6, which contains only Fortran-specific project types in the New Project wizard.

Sorry about the confusion.
