Thanks, Bill, for giving this bug #4772 fix a "soon" priority since it does
directly impact PLplot users.
ENABLE_LANGUAGE is a necessity for PLplot since we have multiple optional
language bindings. (If we put, e.g., Fortran in our PROJECT statement, we
would exclude all our users that don't have a Fortran compiler available
even if they didn't care about those particular language bindings for
PLplot.)
As a result of this bug I have had to recommend to our PLplot users that
they should not use build types (which depend on the compiler flags that
are
not correctly set as a result of this ENABLE_LANGUAGE bug) and instead
specify compiler flags directly using, e.g.,
FC='gfortran -g'
I look forward to your bug fix which should make build types work properly
for the first time on the Linux platform for PLplot (and all other projects
that use ENABLE_LANGUAGE).
Another approach might be to use enable_language(languageName OPTIONAL).
Would this work:
enable_language(Fortran OPTIONAL)
project(myproject C CXX)
It would always test for fortran, and enable it if they have it. If
they do not have it, then you can just turn off that binding. It won't
be an error not to have it. If they do have it you can offer the
binding option for Fortran.
