FindNetCDF finds libnetcdf but not netcdf.mod about cmake-modules

You could try pkg-config, which is probably a better option these days. I haven't tested FindNetCDF.cmake in quite a while (and no longer use CMake in any of my projects). I don't think it was ever tested for a Fortran project. I'm sorry, but I don't have time to add this feature or help you debug at this time. I'd be happy to merge a reasonable patch if you learn how to do it. You might solve your problem merely by telling your Fortran compiler about NETCDF_INCLUDES.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll let you know once it's sorted out. If I don't sort it out on my own, I'll ask for help from Kitware, Inc., on CMake.

Hi Damian,

You need to add the NetCDF includes:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7)

project(build_against_netcdf LANGUAGES Fortran)

# Find the native NetCDF includes and library
include(cmake-modules/FindNetCDF.cmake)

set (NETCDF_F90 "YES") # Require Fortran interfaces to be FOUND
find_package (NetCDF REQUIRED)

include_directories(${NETCDF_INCLUDES})

add_library(io_routines src/io_routines.f90)

target_link_libraries (io_routines ${NETCDF_LIBRARIES})

A really good way to see what facilities a find module provides is to run ccmake or cmake-gui and then toggle the advanced options. In ccmake t toggles the advanced options. Ctrl-n is go to the next line, Ctrl-p is go to the previous line, c is configure (i.e. run cmake), g is configure, generate and quit:
