Hello,
I wonder if there is an easy way to test if there is a Fortran compiler
available.
We are using GSL, which needs to be linked with a cblas library. To test
which cblas library to use, we employ the ACX_BLAS macro
(http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/acx_blas.html) and if nothing is found
we fall back on libgslcblas provided with GSL. The problem is that
ACX_BLAS exits with error when there is no fortran compiler available
due to a call to AC_F77_LIBRARY_LDFLAGS. Therefore, we'd like to test if
fortran is available and if not avoid calling fortran related things. If
possible, we'd prefer to avoid adding fortran as an requirement for our
package and instead when fortran is not available for example fall back
on libgslcblas which is completely independent of fortran code. Is there
a macro available within Autoconf or Autoconf Archive that I'm missing?
Thanks,
Peter
