Building h5fortran with fpm about h5fortran

[scivision]

2b: oh yes, that is so much better than needlessly generating source code that's just copying.

Yes I long wanted FPM to work at least with core features, no need to build C/C++ example etc. It looks like FPM could be ready to work with these adjustments

[scivision]

I made these changes. Now FPM doesn't find HDF5, there must be some parameter or environment variable for external libraries in arbitrary filesystem locations?

Ah, I see it needs to be managed via compiler environment variables: https://fpm.fortran-lang.org/en/spec/manifest.html#use-system-installed-modules

[scivision]

Yes this works, fpm 0.5.0 creates libh5fortran.a and h5fortran.mod

@milancurcic please let me know if anything else needed, and I'll make a Github release/tag

[scivision]

I think I have a few other package (especially nc4fortran which is highly similar to h5fortran, but for NetCDF4) that can use FPM now. At least the ones that don't use C/C++.
E.g. fortran-filesystem is a killer app for me but it entirely relies on C++ source code mixed with .f90 internal to the library.

nc4fortran and rpn-calc now also work with FPM

maptran3d already worked with FPM

[milancurcic]

Thanks @scivision for addressing it so quickly. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

[milancurcic]

It works on my end, please go ahead with the release.

@milancurcic h5fortran-mpi now also has FPM build
