CoolProp/wrappers/Fortran/detailed_example

FORTRAN example with module

To build static library

Start in root folder of repo

mkdir build
cd build
mkdir gccstatic
cd gccstatic
cmake ../.. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCOOLPROP_STATIC_LIBRARY=ON
cmake --build .

This will generate the file libCoolProp.a which is a GCC static library that can be linked with GCC/GFORTRAN code

Make sure that the macro COOLPROP_LIB is defined and that the macro CONVENTION=__cdecl is set.

Copy this .a file into the directory with the coolprop FORTRAN example

To build FORTRAN example

gfortran -c -Wall cool_fortran_bind.f90
gfortran -Wall cool_fortran_bind.f90 libCoolProp.a -o main -lstdc++
main

Note!! You MUST put the static library after the cool_fortran_bind.f90 Same thing if you compile the fortran to object file, static library must always be at the end.

Compiling on Windows

At the moment, the most reliable mixed compilation seems to be using the mingw-provided gfortran/gcc combination from mingw-get. Theese are the versions used as of June 20, 2014::

>gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.8.1

>gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.8.1
