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: 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 }}
          install_mkl: "true"

      - 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.
install_mkl: If MKL libraries should be installed alongsider the intel compiler. Defaults to false.

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.

Note: MKL libraries can only be installed for the Intel Fortran compiler, and only on linux and MacOS operating systems; with the exception of intel-classic 2021.5, for which no compatible library is available.
