Hello Knut, Both fflags/flibs and nf-config will continue to be supported. nf-config is generated whenever the fortran library is built; if it is missing form pre-packaged installs on some systems, I am not sure why. It does not reflect a decision on our part to stop supporting one or the other. nc-config will invoke nf-config if it is found, to also provide fortran-specific information. I hope this helps, -Ward > Dear support, > > will the fortran options fflags and flibs be supported in the future, or > is there really a need to switch to nf-config?
