Description mastermemorex CLA 2011-06-14 18:27:42 EDT 
Build Identifier: I20110603-0909

I have just dowloaded Eclipse, Photran configured with Cygwin, everything should be ok. Start a new project and create two files
3DDriver_newc.f90
      PROGRAM Main
      USE size
      END PROGRAM Driver_3D

size.f90
      MODULE size
         SAVE
         INTEGER, PARAMETER :: neq = 5            ! number of equations 
!...
      END MODULE size

I receive this error:
../3DDriver_newc.f90:20.14: Fatal Error: Can't open module file 'size.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory	3DDriver_newc.f90

It seems that the .mod files are not generated

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Photran project under Windows XP, cygwin g95, etc...
2. Create a file with a program
3. Create another file with a module
4. Compile

I have just playing around and figure out what could possible go wrong. An by changing the name 3DDriver_newc.f90 to z3DDriver_newc.f90 it compiles. It seems that it tries to compile the files by alphabetical order.

This bug translates into "photran's managed make is broken". Would be helpful to clarify docs until it is fixed - I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong getting a multi-file multi-module project to build since the home page and docs both mention managed make support.

This link may be helpful for making a working implementation: http://code.google.com/p/foraytool/

[AFAIK this is the only major remaining flaw in photran than makes it less good than Visual Fortran (apart from set up ease-of-use issues)]

Hi,

Thanks for the bug report.  The underlying cause of this was covered in Bug 365652, which was fixed in the recent 7.0.5 release.  Please try that version and see if it works for you...
