I've added some support for Fortran compilation using CMake to the git branch of hdf5 1.8.x
In order to play with the fortran stuff, you'll need cmake 2.8.0 (the latest release, which seems to handle fortran much better than previous versions).
I've tested it on linux using intel fortran 11.x and all is working nicely.
On windows using intel fortran 11.x all works except for a couple of wrinkles
1) There seems to be a bug in the visual studio generation of the name mangling detection project, so you have to click "yes" a few times for it to complete when a dialog pops up.
2) When compiling the various utility projects which detect type sizes, a cryptic message pops up reading
warning: Fortran REAL is 16 bytes, no corresponding C floating type
Disabling Fortran 16 byte REALs
This is ok by me, (it is generated by H5match_types.c) - but I have one fortran test which fails to compile ...
tH5T.f90
CALL h5dwrite_f(dset_id, dt3_id, double_member, data_dims, error, xfer_prp = plist_id)
CALL check("h5dwrite_f", error, total_error)
Error 2 error #6285: There is no matching specific subroutine for this generic subroutine call. [H5DWRITE_F] D:\Code\hdf5-v18\fortran\test\tH5T.f90 256
Error 3 error #6285: There is no matching specific subroutine for this generic subroutine call. [H5DREAD_F] D:\Code\hdf5-v18\fortran\test\tH5T.f90 496
Now the last time I worked with Fortran was (I suspect) before some people on this list were born, so my best guess to this error, is that the test is trying to use the "real 16" type which has been disabled.
Could be I'm way off, but either way, does anyone know what to do?
Many thanks
