futility

A collection of modern Fortran utilities. So far it includes some numerical subroutine and a module for simplified input and output of arrays. In future I hope to add various data structures, some useful functions for interacting with the system (adding, removing files, etc.), and an object-oriented plotting system.

Compiling

futility uses FoBiS for its build system. This provides a simpler interface to work with than Makefiles. To compile, simply execute

./FoBiS.py build

and this will produce a shared-object file and place all module files in the directory mod/. If you want to recompile the documentation then type

./FoBiS.py rule -ex makedoc

futility is known to compile with gfortran 4.8.2 on a 64 bit laptop running Linux Mint Debian Edition. How it will behave anywhere else is not subject to any guarantees.

Documentation

Extensive documentation of the various modules and procedures in Futility can be found in the doc/ directory. The library can be linked to your Fortran programs in the usual way.
