Error when building with fpm

I just included M_strings as a dependency in my project. On doing fpm run, I get the following error in M_strings. This is wwith gfortran version 8.3.0 .

build/dependencies/M_strings/src/M_strings.F90:8854:35:

That old version of the compiler did not support that more modern declaration. I do not have a version that old to test with, but if that is the only error I will change the code to use older syntax. That is in a relatively obscure function and should have no performance issue anyway.

If using fpm(1) it does not get dependencies that change automatically;so if you flush the dependency cache with "fpm clean --all" or run "fpm update" it should get the new version; which
should have that problem resolved by creating an allocatable array and allocating it instead.

Excellent, thanks
