Very little. The whole point is to test that the compiler works the way CMake will invoke it in the generated build system. > I.e. can I tell cmake to add -L (where to look for libraries) > or -v (cf77 compiler verbose flag) when compiling the test program to > avoid having to go to a full toolchain file and forcing the compiler? If you use CMake 3.2 or higher then you can try a test project like this: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2) project(cf77test Fortran) and run CMake as cmake . -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-v" to get more verbose output from the link step. > I have found the -lrt is coming from /usr/lib/librt.so [snip] > If /usr/lib is in my path It shouldn't matter if /usr/lib is in your PATH. The linker does not pay attention to PATH. Linkers normally look in /usr/lib by default. > rts1-4:/home/bzpl46/test2> cf77 -v -g test.f > Linking executable: /usr/ccs/release/7.3/lib_ia32/ld ... -lrt ... One can see that cf77 indeed adds -lrt to the link line itself. So the question is: why does this work when invoked by hand but not when CMake invokes it? In the test project you sent in a sibling message, try this: $ cd CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp $ cat CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec4035725976.dir/link.txt /usr/ccs/bin/cf77 CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec4035725976.dir/testFortranCompiler.f.o -o cmTryCompileExec4035725976 -rdynamic Then run that command line by hand. You can add -v to it too. Note that the "4035725976" number will be different each time so adapt to your local build tree accordingly. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
