Suggestion: Fortran support

[interkosmos]

Any chance that modern Fortran (2003/2008/2018) will be added to xmake? GNU Fortran, for instance, is part of GCC and close to the C compiler.

[waruqi]

If more than 5 people want xmake to support fortran, I will consider supporting it.

[cnkjw]

This is excellent advice, and I also hope that xmake will support FORTRAN projects.

[waruqi]

I am supporting it, please see #882

If you can give me some examples of static libraries and dynamic library projects about fortran, maybe I will deal with them faster.

[waruqi]

I have supported gfortran compiler. Please update to dev version and try it. xmake update dev

Console project

$ xmake create -l fortran -t console test
$ cd test
$ xmake

xmake.lua

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.f90")

Static library project

$ xmake create -l fortran -t static test
$ cd test
$ xmake

Shared library project

$ xmake create -l fortran -t shared test
$ cd test
$ xmake

[interkosmos]

Build xmake master on FreeBSD 12:

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake
$ cd xmake/
$ gmake
$ gmake install

Created a sample project test with Fortran program src/test.f90, and the following xmake file:

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.f90")

Then, the following error occurs:

$ xmake

[waruqi]

@interkosmos What's your fortran compiler? gfortran?

please run which gfortran and let me see it.

[interkosmos]

$ gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (FreeBSD Ports Collection) 9.3.
$ which gfortran
/usr/local/bin/gfortran

[waruqi]

Please enter the non-project directory and run xmake l lib.detect.find_tool gfortran and let me see the results.

[interkosmos]

$ xmake l lib.detect.find_tool gfortran
{ 
  program = "/usr/local/bin/gfortran",
  name = "gfortran" 
}

[waruqi]

ok, can you run the following commands and get me output again. thanks.

cd test
xmake f -c -vD
xmake -vD

[waruqi]

I have fixed it. Please update to the lasted commit version and try it again.

[interkosmos]

Can confirm, works.

[waruqi]

Ok.

[waruqi]

now I have also supported for Intel Fortran Compiler on linux/macOS/windows.
