How do I link cgns using fpm?

I am completely lost on this and dont know how to get started.

You should have a build section in your project fpm.toml file, there you can specify what you want your application or library to be linked against, as explained here.

Assuming that you have a libcgns.a file installed in a standard location (e.g. $HOME/.local/lib/ on a GNU/Linux system), your fpm.toml file will need a section

[build]
link = "cgns"

At this point, you can just run fpm build or fpm run main.
If the cgns library is not located at a standard location, you could, for instance, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include such location, e.g. you could run fpm as follows:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=path/to/cgns_directory:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH fpm run main

Iā€™m not familiar with cgns, but someone else in the forum might be, if it is the software about CFD I found looking it up.
