dh-fortran-mod - 0.12 main

Modules were introduced in the 1990 revision of the Fortran standard. When the
Fortran compiler processes a source file containing a module, it produces both
an object file and a '.mod' file. The latter plays a role similar to header
files in C, since it is needed when compiling other source files which make
use of the module.
.
The '.mod' files are however platform dependent, and their format changes with
the gfortran version.
.
This package provides the dh_fortran_mod command, which simplifies the
inclusion of '.mod' files in binary packages. First, it places the '.mod'
files in the correct platform- and gfortran-dependent location. Second, it
adds the right dependency information on gfortran version(s).
.
Inclusion of dh_fortran_mod in dh sequence is also provided under the name
'fortran_mod'.
