Select the compiler

By default FoBiS.py uses the Intel Fortran Compiler, in particular the serial compiler that has the command line name of ifort. The compiler can be selected by the -compiler option

FoBiS.py build -compiler GNU

Presently the supported compilers are:

• Intel Fortran Compiler, switch value intel;
• GNU gfortran, switch value gnu;
• g95, switch value g95;
• IBM XL Fortran Compiler;
• NAG Fortran Compiler;
• PGI Fortran Compiler;
• custom, switch value custom.

Note that all the -compiler switch values are case insensitive.

The custom value selects a completely custom compiler for which the user must specify some other options.

Custom Compiler

When using a custom compiler you must also specify:

• -fc the fortran compiler statement;
• -modsw the switch for setting the module searching path.

For example

FoBiS.py build -compiler custom -fc my_strange_compiler -modsw '-assume modules-path='

MPI Compiler

The compiler statement for MPI compilation is often different from the serial one. For the supported compilers the MPI statements can activated by the -mpi option

FoBiS.py build -compiler GNU -mpi

FoBiS.py build -mpi
