Hi,
I was just looking into gfortran and noticed that I don't quite understand that
package.
gfortran48 is defined as an override of gcc48 with the following arguments:
langFortran = true;
langCC = false;
langC = false;
To me this suggests that the package gfortran comes with a Fortran compiler,
but does not offer a C, or a C++ compiler. But, if I look at the built
derivation I find that there are programs cc, cpp, gcc, and g++ alongside f77,
and gfortran. Is that intentional, and if so why?
The reason why I'm asking is this:
I would like to use nix to install programs for people to use outside of nix.
E.g.
nix-build -A nixpkgs.gcc48 '<nixpkgs>' -o /global/path/gcc48
People can then add /global/path/gcc48/bin to their path and use gcc.
However, since there is overlap between the gcc and gfortran packages this
could be problematic if people want to use both.
Best, Andreas
