So if you cannot get a library with mixed Fortran and C++ objects to
build
properly, splitting it will work at least in the case where all Fortran
code depends on C++ code or all C++ code depends on Fortran code. Of
course,
splitting a library is a bad idea if the resulting two libraries
depend on
each other so I don't recommend this course if you have both Fortran code
depending on C++ code and C++ code depending on Fortran code in your
library.
The problem with the code I have is that, in the c code we access memory
allocated by Fortran (functions and variables ) and I am not certain
that if we separate the libraries, it will work.
I actually have C++ code that depends on Fortran code that depend on C
code. So that would be 3 different libraries if I understood you
correctly.... It seems a bit complex (at least for me), but I don't
really have a choice since these programs are not mine and I am using
them to create a qt user interface. Therefore, I thought (or rather I
was told when I asked on the qt list ) that cmake could be the best
solution
