I would like to try to use 64-bit gfortran to compile a project in which the 
rest of the code is compiled with Visual C++ 2017. I've read the netlib article 
(http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lawnspdf/lawn270.pdf) but it doesn't address my 
problem, which is how to help CMake select the right Fortran compiler. The 
CMakeLists.txt file is launched from within Qt Creator.

My CMakeLists.txt file (which I've tested thoroughly using gfortran in Linux 
and MinGW gfortran on Windows) begins:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
    project(myProj LANGUAGES Fortran)

...and if I set Qt Creator to parse it with the MSVC compiler option selected, 
the output is:

    Starting to parse CMake project, using: 
"-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual 
Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.16.27023/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe", 
"-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual 
Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.16.27023/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe", 
"-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=C:/Qt/5.9.7/msvc2017_64", 
"-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:STRING=C:/Qt/5.9.7/msvc2017_64/bin/qmake.exe".
    The Fortran compiler identification is unknown
    CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2 (project):
      No CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER could be found.

      Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
      variable "FC" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER to the full
      path to the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH.

Fair enough; here's my second attempt:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
    set(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER "C:/Qt/Tools/mingw730_64/bin/gfortran.exe")
    project(myProj LANGUAGES Fortran)

...and this gives me:

    Starting to parse CMake project, using: 
"-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual 
Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.16.27023/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe", 
"-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual 
Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.16.27023/bin/HostX86/x64/cl.exe", 
"-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=C:/Qt/5.9.7/msvc2017_64", 
"-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:STRING=C:/Qt/5.9.7/msvc2017_64/bin/qmake.exe".
    The Fortran compiler identification is unknown
    Check for working Fortran compiler: C:/Qt/Tools/mingw730_64/bin/gfortran.exe
    CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may not 
be built correctly.
    Missing variable is:
    CMAKE_Fortran_PREPROCESS_SOURCE
    CMake Error at C:/Program 
Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/CMakeTestFortranCompiler.cmake:30 
(try_compile):
      Failed to generate test project build system.
    Call Stack (most recent call first):
      CMakeLists.txt:3 (project)

In place of the "set(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER..." line I've also tried

    set($ENV{FC} "C:/Qt/Tools/mingw730_64/bin/gfortran.exe")

...which gave me the error message

    Could not find compiler set in environment variable FC:
         CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER-NOTFOUND

..and
        set($ENV{FC} "C:/Qt/Tools/mingw730_64/bin")

... which gave me exactly the same error as I got in the first case.

So what am I doing wrong here?
