The candidate for file system operations to be included in stdlib is being developed by @MarDiehl and @arjenmarkus in this repository. Please try it out and let us know how it works, if there are any issues, or if the API can be improved.

Gerenciador de Pacotes Fortran#

Here’s what’s new in fpm:

  • #675: Fix for backtrace error when file not found in: src/fpm_source_parsing.f90

  • #677: Fix issue with backend pretty output

  • #684: fix: remove remove unnecessary space in fpm new cmd

Trabalhos em desenvolvimento#

  • #685 (WIP): fix: function for getting executable path

  • #676 (WIP): Tree shaking for modules

  • #671 (WIP): Add library-dir to support -Lpath

  • #665 (WIP): add clean command

  • #653 (WIP): Enable profiles in toml

  • #608 (WIP): –env switch lets you specify the prefix of the compiler-related environment variables

  • #539 (WIP): Add parent packages into dependency tree

  • #498 (WIP): Compiler flags profiles

fpm is still in early development and we need as much help as we can get. Here’s how you can help today:

  • Use it and let us know what you think! Read the fpm packaging guide to learn how to build your package with fpm, and the manifest reference to learn what are all the things that you can specify in the fpm.toml file.

  • Navegue pelos pacotes fpm existentes no site fortran-lang

  • Browse the open issues and see if you can help implement any fixes or features.

  • Adapt your Fortran package for fpm and submit it to the Registry.

  • Ajude a melhorar a documentação.

The short-term goal of fpm is to make development and installation of Fortran packages with dependencies easier. Its long term goal is to build a rich and decentralized ecosystem of Fortran packages and create a healthy environment in which new open source Fortran projects are created and published with ease.
