This tells CMake that your "main" is provided by C++, but IIUC
it is still Fortran. You should still be able to link with the
Fortran front-end but need to get the C++ runtime library too.
One way to do this is to tell CMake that the library uses C++
using the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES property on an
imported target:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.11/cmake.html#prop_tgt:IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES
For example:
add_library(externalCxxLib STATIC IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(externalCxxLib PROPERTIES
IMPORTED_LOCATION "/path/to/libexternalCxxLib.a"
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES "CXX"
)
target_link_libraries(myFortranExe externalCxxLib)
This should work if:
- The project enables both Fortan and CXX languages
- The C++ compiler used is the same as that used to
build the static library
Then CMake has enough information to add the C++ runtime
library to the link line when linking to the static library.
