2017-05-27 Thread Jed Brown
I have a C library that offers a Fortran 90 interface consisting of 8 source files that form a length 7 dependency chain. A Fortran module cannot be built until modules on which it depends have been built, so building the Fortran modules is sequential. The library has about 1000 C source files, b
