TCBuild

If you're a developer who works frequently with Fortran, you'll know that it can include fairly complex dependencies. Unfortunately, most build tools don't offer much support for Fortran, which can make the build process both time-consuming and frustrating. However, there's good news: TCBuild is a new build tool that aims to solve this problem.

Built as a Python script, TCBuild was first developed to determine dependencies in multi-file, multi-directory Fortran programs. It has since grown into a full-fledged build system that is now used by the developer for daily Fortran development projects. Whether you're working on small utility programs with only a handful of files, or a massive program with over a million lines of code, TCBuild has the capabilities to support your build process.

One of the issues with many build tools is that they require developers to enter dependencies manually or develop a script to do it for them. This can be both time-consuming and error-prone. With TCBuild, however, these issues become a thing of the past. Instead, the build tool takes care of dependencies automatically, freeing up time for developers to work on more important aspects of the project.

It's also worth noting that TCBuild is released under a BSD license, which means that it can be used by anyone for any purpose. This makes it an excellent choice for developers who are looking for a reliable and flexible build tool that they can use on a regular basis.
