Emacs and GFortran

There's a thread on emacs-devel with the same subject. (NB, the references in my headers refer to the emacs-devel thread.) I propose that we deal with this issue by adding the following text (should be self-explanatory) to PROBLEMS and/or the FAQ. Comments? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ compile-mode can't find source location in gfortran errors! gfortran's error reporting does not conform to the GNU standard for error messages. We consider this a bug in gfortran, unless and until the standard is amended. You can work around this bug by placing the following code in your init file: <appropriate Lisp snippet> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NB. It would appear that gfortran error messages can be sufficiently complex that the snippet described on emacs-devel does not allow jumping from error message to source in all cases. There is zero support on emacs-devel for catering to gfortran, FWIW. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
