[CMake] CMake 2.6.2, Xcode and Fortran...

[Dick Munroe]

Bill, Well, Xcode certainly supports Fortran well enough with the Intel 
10.1 preview compiler to successfully build and install software using 
Xcode, so I'm not sure what you mean by "doesn't support Fortran" unless 
it's dependency stuff. So if the Intel fortran compiler works (and I 
have an existence proof that it does), is it a simple matter of hacking 
the Xcode generator to "know" about the fortran language extensions and 
get the lastKnownSourceFile right? Presumably you would have to look at 
the source file properties as well to see if it is explicitly fortran. 
There are some debugging issues, but from what I've heard from Intel 
they plan to continue to work toward better Xcode integration, so...

Xcode does not support fortran.  There is some add-on that is not
supported by Apple, but it does not like the cmake generated Xcode files
for some reason.   If Xcode had real support for Fortran, CMake could be
made to work with it.
