Hello, We just included an eclass to simplify the fortran compiler dependency and testing in ebuilds. For the simplest case, which is most probably the way you want it, simply add "fortran-2" to you inherit line. The only phase function exported is pkg_setup, so take care to add "fortran-2_pkg_setup" in case you redefined pkg_setup. This will depend on a fortran compiler and check additionally for general compiler functionality. Two specialist cases are support. First, you need openmp support from the fortran compiler, then simply define "FORTRAN_NEED_OPENMP=1". Second, you need a different fortran dialect. Normally this can be identified, if the source files have different suffixes then .f e.g. .f90. Simply define FORTRAN_STANDARD with the dialects you need. Currently supported are the dialects from 77, 90, 95 and 03. 08 is currently not, due to the lack of a working compiler. I hope this will fix the problems due to missing fortran compilers. justin
