Visual Studio Code: cannot compile FORTRAN-Code

Question

Hello,

I added the “Modern Fortran” extension to Visual Studio Code (version: 1.84.2, OS= WINDOWS 11 64 Bit) and added the corresponding path to “fortls”.

I added the following file CMakeLists.txt to the FORTRAN code (helloworld.f90), as I do with a C++ file.

CMakeLists.txt:

Compiler settings - Can be customized.

CC = gfortran

CPP = gfortran -cpp

CXXFLAGS = -g -Wall

LDFLAGS =

Makefile settings - Can be customized.

APPNAME = helloworld

EXT = .f90

SRCDIR = src

OBJDIR = obj

If I now want to compile the FORTRAN code under “Run and debug”, I get the display: “Select debugger”.

Suggested: "Cmake Debugger", so I get the message: "CMake does not support automatic debugging for this file.

I can compile the FORTRAN code on the console with: ”gfortran file.f90”.

Kind regards

Juergen
