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

[Carminati Federico]

Hello,
    I am very interested in this issue and I have done some tests.  
There is a problem with cmake (see http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7389) 
, where fortran flags are assigned to C compiler during Xcode  
generation. There is another "more obscure" problem (see http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=7591) 
. If I install the gfortran plugin (http://maxao.free.fr/xcode-fortran-plugin/ 
) then somehow, while validating the compiler during the generation of  
Xcode, CMake decides to use some non-existing linker. Bill says it is  
not with cmake, so I have contacted the plugin author, as Bill  
suggested.
     I believe a possible step forward would be to disable the plugin  
(renaming is enough), generate the xcode project, re-enable the plugin  
and try. However the first bug prevents me from trying this because I  
need some special flags in my project. Best regards,
