Need -c flag when compiling

[jacobwilliams]

Trying out FoBiS on a simple project:

./FoBiS.py build -s ./src -compiler gnu -o ./bin/test

It fails on the first file because the cmd being called by syswork(cmd) is:

gfortran  -J ././mod/  ./src/blah.f90 -o ././obj/blah.o

It's missing the -c flag.

It works if I add the '-c' to this line in the code:

buildparser.add_argument('-cflags',                required=False,action='store',               default='-c',            help='Compile flags')

I don't know if this is the proper solution, or if I'm just using it wrong.

Also, I can't pass -c to FoBiS using the -cflags command line argument, because it thinks it's a new argument.

I'm using Python 2.7 on a Mac, if that helps.

Hi jacobwilliams,

thank you very much for trying FoBiS.py. I have just uploaded a patched version. You are right: it was the argparse that set to null string by default: in the very early tests that I have made I did not use argparse and it was the builder class that initialize the builder object with the '-c' flag, but the argparse default overrides the builder default... thank you very much for your test!

On the contrary I do not understand why -cflags '-c' does not work, in my box work. Do you use the ' or " symbols to enclose -c switch?

Note that in the new version that I have just uploaded there is a minor improvement to "rule" execution...

Thank you again for your help.

Thanks! I'll try the updates.

On my machine, the following:

./FoBiS.py build -s ./src -compiler gnu -o ./bin/test -cflags -c
./FoBiS.py build -s ./src -compiler gnu -o ./bin/test -cflags '-c'
./FoBiS.py build -s ./src -compiler gnu -o ./bin/test -cflags "-c"

All give the same error:

FoBiS.py build: error: ambiguous option: -c could match -compiler, -colors, -cflags

Not sure why...I'll look into it some more.
