.. include:: include/ENV_VAR.rst
Preferred executable for compiling Fortran language files. Will only be used
by CMake on the first configuration to determine Fortran compiler, after
which the value for Fortran is stored in the cache as
:variable:CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER <CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER>. For any
configuration run (including the first), the environment variable will be
ignored if the :variable:CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER <CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER>
variable is defined.
.. note:: Options that are required to make the compiler work correctly can be included; they can not be changed.
