Setup Fortran

Test Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. GitHub tag

Set up a Fortran compiler on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows runners.

Usage

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      matrix:
        os: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
        toolchain:
          - {compiler: gcc, version: 13}
          - {compiler: intel, version: '2023.2'}
          - {compiler: intel-classic, version: '2021.10'}
          - {compiler: nvidia-hpc, version: '23.11'}
        include:
          - os: ubuntu-latest
            toolchain: {compiler: gcc, version: 12}
        exclude:
          - os: macos-latest
            toolchain: {compiler: intel, version: '2023.2'}
          - os: macos-latest
            toolchain: {compiler: nvidia-hpc, version: '23.11'}
          - os: windows-latest
            toolchain: {compiler: nvidia-hpc, version: '23.11'}

    steps:
      - uses: fortran-lang/setup-fortran@v1
        id: setup-fortran
        with:
          compiler: ${{ matrix.toolchain.compiler }}
          version: ${{ matrix.toolchain.version }}

      - run: |
          ${{ env.FC }} ... # environment vars FC, CC, and CXX are set
          ${{ steps.setup-fortran.outputs.fc }} ... # outputs work too

Options

  • compiler: Compiler toolchain to setup, available options are
    • gcc for gfortran
    • intel for ifx
    • intel-classic for ifort
    • lfortran for lfortran
    • nvidia-hpc for nvfortran
  • version: Version of the compiler toolchain. See runner compatibility charts below.

Outputs

The action sets the following outputs:

  • fc: Fortran compiler executable, e.g. gfortran
  • cc: C compiler executable, e.g. gcc
  • cxx: C++ compiler executable, e.g. g++

C/C++ compilers of the same toolchain/version are provided where available. If a standalone Fortran compiler is selected, the action will attempt to configure compatible C/C++ compilers (typically GCC, or MSVC on Windows), but this is not guaranteed — use at your own risk.

Environment variables

The same values are also set as environment variables:

  • FC
  • CC
  • CXX

Corresponding FPM environment variables are also set:

  • FPM_FC
  • FPM_CC
  • FPM_CXX

These are made available to subsequent workflow steps via the GITHUB_ENV environment file mechanism.

Runner compatibility

Toolchain support varies across GitHub-hosted runner images.

Note: Intel's ifx compiler is not supported on macOS, so the intel option redirects to intel-classic (ifort).

Note: LFortran is currently only discoverable by name with bash on Windows, see here for context.
