Minor Changes and Bug Fixes

Configuration file syntax

If a setting accepts a space delimited list of locations, it is now possible to use $HERE in front of any of the locations in the list.

User configuration file location

The user configuration file should now be placed at $HOME/.metomi/fcm/. The old location $HOME/.met-um/fcm/ is still supported but is deprecated.

fcm make

Reduced run time memory footprint.

Build: Create the include/ sub-directory for *.o targets of Fortran source files containing modules. Some compilers will put the *.mod files directly into the include/ sub-directory.

Build: ns-dep.o property improved. Its value will now accept namespaces at the source file level. It will also accept / as the root namespace. (Previously, it required a pair of quotes "".) A bad namespace in the value will now trigger a missing dependency error.

Build: handle . and .. in value of source declaration.

Known Issues

Build inheritance limitation: handling of include files
