Hmm. My situation is a bit different. We have different Fortran compilers installed, but this specific one needs to be compiled using the intel compiler. But by default, CMake selects gfortran. At the moment I abort the build if FC != ifort, but this is not exactly a good user experience. Imagine: $ cmake .. Unsupported! Please set FC=ifort $ FC=ifort cmake .. For the user, this raises the question: if the build system knows what compiler it needs, why doesn't it just use it instead of telling me to tell it to use it? :-) Best, -Nikolaus -- 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.
