Created attachment 193076 [details] necessary changes for switching to flang There are lot of known problems with gfortran when clang is involved, e.g.: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196862 This patch switches to using flang compiler (on amd64 only) and resolves gcc linking issues. Note: - deleted file "files/patch-exports+Makefile" (backward compatibility checked on gfortran builds) - patched "Makefile" contains a "ditry" arch check, I believe it's the best available option now until "flang" will be set by default for all amd64 ports in fortran.mk.

There are 2 issues with this patch: 1. The correct way to do this is using the port option FLANG, see math/R how this is done there. Please resubmit the patch doing this 2. Some people might disagree with this, not sure. This adds a certain level of complexity. Also, for this all ports that depend on lapack should probably be rebuilt and retested.

The patch no longer applies. I'm afraid it needs to be updated.
There is no reason to refresh the patch yet. The thing that is now called "flang" is a completely different project than the one from back then in 2018. At the moment, the new Flang isn't able to compile anything, so it is impossible to switch to it. Once the new Flang matures, it will be included in the devel/llvmXX port (I presume), and then we will be able to make a switch.
