Summary0010119: 64-bit libraries not found with Fortran project
DescriptionI have a 64-bit Linux machine which means that programs (C, C++, and Fortran) are by default compiled with 64-bit memory access and therefore must be linked against 64-bit libraries. This all works fine for C and C++, but I have found that if the language is Fortran, then FIND_LIBRARY find the 32-bit library instead of the 64-bit version. For example, when I run CMake with the CMakeLists.txt file

PROJECT(findlib Fortran)
FIND_LIBRARY(MATH_LIB m)

on my system I get the following entry in my CMakeCache.txt file.

MATH_LIB:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libm.so

If I attempt to link with this library, I get an error. However, if I add C to the list of languages like this

PROJECT(findlib Fortran C)
FIND_LIBRARY(MATH_LIB m)

CMake now finds the correct math library.

MATH_LIB:FILEPATH=/usr/lib64/libm.so

 CMake is able to detect that the C compiler produces 64-bit binaries because it can do a try-compile with sizeof(void*) and encode the result in the binary using a combination of preprocessor and C initializer syntax. We'll need a totally different way to detect the Fortran binary type.

It looks like at least some Fortran compilers preprocess with _LP64 defined for 64-bit architectures.

 I've committed a fix that will work on at least some platforms, including Linux.

 Note for future investigation:

Fortran does not expose pointers in the language so we cannot detect their size with code. Preprocessor-based detection works only in some cases. We need a different approach. Perhaps we should try inspecting the binary produced by the compiler ("file a.out"). For ELF-based systems we can detect the binary type using cmELF.

 Sending issues I'm not actively working on to the backlog to await someone with time for them.

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it:

 http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer or contributor who has the bandwidth to take it on.
