Hello everybody,
I would like to compile my project using intel fortran compiler on my
windows machine.
When running the following commands:
cmake -DCMAKE_Fortran_Compiler=ifort -GNMake Makefiles
nmake VERBOSE=1
I can see that nmake use the linker 'lib' provided with the intel
fortran compiler.
But, looking at my generated CMakeCache.txt I see just at the beginning:
CMAKE_AR:FILEPATH=C:/MinGW/bin/ar.exe (I have the Mingw tools installed
on my machine
Two questions:
- why cmake uses the 'lib' linker if another one was set in the
CMakeCache.txt file ?
The compiler is but one of a set of related tools (the toolchain as
it is sometimes called). Choosing one means choosing all these others
as well.
CMAKE_AR is simply a variable that is used for other sets of tools.
The modules that come with CMake contain the information about what
tools to use and where to find them. There is no magic involved -
just hard labour.
If you leave the choice of the compiler to CMake, then - in my
experience - it is the generator you specify that determines
what compilers are tried first.
Regards,
Arjen
