SYNOPSIS

# Build.PL
use strict;
use warnings;
use Module::Build::Pluggable ('PDL');

my $builder = Module::Build::Pluggable->new(
    dist_name  => 'PDL::My::Module',
    license    => 'perl',
    f_source   => [ 'src' ],
    requires   => { },
    configure_requires => {
        'Module::Build'                      => '0.4004',
        'Module::Build::Pluggable'           => '0',
        'Module::Build::Pluggable::Fortran'  => '0.20',
    },

);
$builder->create_build_script();

DESCRIPTION

This is a plugin for Module::Build (using Module::Build::Pluggable) that will assist in building distributions that require Fortran .f files to be compiled. Please see the Module::Build::Authoring documentation if you are not familiar with it.

Add Prerequisites

build_requires => {
    'ExtUtils::F77'      => '0',
    'ExtUtils::CBuilder' => '0.23',
},

You can, or course, require your own versions of these modules by adding them to requires = {}> as usual.

Compile .f files

The lib directory of your distribution will be searched for .f files and, immediately prior to the build phase, compiles them into .o files. This is accomplished (effectively) by running:

my $mycompiler = ExtUtils::F77->compiler();
my $mycflags   = ExtUtils::F77->cflags();
system( "$mycompiler -c -o $file.o $mycflags -O3 -fPIC $file.f" );

Add Extra Linker Flags

extra_linker_flags =>  $PDL::Config{MALLOCDBG}->{libs}
  if $PDL::Config{MALLOCDBG}->{libs};
extra_linker_flags => ExtUtils::F77->runtime, <your fortran object files>

Adds the linker flags from ExtUtils::F77 and all the .o object files created from the .f Fortran files.
