With gfortran at least, you can also build C files with the same driver,
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
// Subroutine definition
void print_hello() {
printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
$ cat hello_from_fortran.f90
interface
subroutine print_hello() bind(c)
end subroutine
end interface
call print_hello()
end
$ gfortran hello.c hello_from_fortran.f90 && ./a.out
Hello, world!
So you could package the files into a tarball and anyone could built it with a one-liner:
tar -xf mk-fdeps.tar.gz && cd mk-fdeps && \
gfortran -o mk-fdeps lexer.c $(cat compile-order.txt)
It’s still very minimalistic.
