Thanks for your thoughts. I'm willing to do a little bit of work to get this bug fixed, but I don't have the time to make a major revision to automake's internals, which it sounds this patch would entail. (Though as a longtime automake user I definitely agree that more extensibility would be awesome.) Ralf, I think I understand what you mentioned about AC_FC_SRCEXT, and that sounds like a nice approach. Is work actively being done on hooking up those macros to Automake's language-choosing apparatus? If I wanted that to happen, would I realistically have to do it myself?

Sorry if I hadn't been clear: my intention was *not* for this patch to be
applied to the automake official repository; it was just intended as a quick
workaround for Peter. See also my other mail in this thread.

My fortran fu is pretty weak, so I'm happily going to follow your lead

Certainly no; the current automake behaviour w.r.t. the `.for' extension
has been in place for a long time, and it matches gfortran expectations,
so there's no reason to just change it. But making it configurable could
be a useful improvement.

That's understandable. Unfortunately, the lack of easy extesibility is
a known problem of Automake, and IMHO its major shortcoming.

Hmm... I don't like this solution either; it still sounds a little too
hackish, and to me it seems wrong to have to declare project policy
decisions that are system-independent and relevant only for automake (in
this case, the policy decision being "use the `*.for' extension for
Fortran 90 sources") in the configure.ac file.
OTOH, some times ago a patch has been proposed which would allow user
extensions to the languages handled/understood by Automake:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2010-09/msg00003.html>
IMHO, resurrecting it (and possibly improving it to naturally serve your
user case) would be the best way to fix your problem (and similar ones)
in the long run.
Regards,
Stefano

Sorry, but this is not a good change, and it is backward-incompatible
(even if .for might not have been used much in practice).
My intention with the recent Autoconf Fortran changes was to go ahead
and let Automake grab those extensions for $(FC) for which an
AC_FC_SRCEXT was issued. And assume preprocessing for those where
AC_FC_PP_SRCEXT was issued for. But that is a bigger change.
Cheers, and sorry for my really slow catchup
(also, all of my mail from yesterday got stuck somewhere...)

I don't think developers would be too happy about needing to run a custom-patched version of automake. I was thinking that there could be an Autoconf macro called AM_ALIAS_SOURCE_EXTENSION([.for],[.f90]) that would mutate the %extension_map variable to treat .for files the way that .f90 files are normally treated. It looks like this could happen in &scan_autoconf_traces. I don't have a good enough understanding of the automake internals to know whether this would be a simple change or whether that would affect a lot of other things, though.

Please try the attached patch (against the v1.11.1 tag in the automake git
repository). I *think* it should solve your problem for what concerns
automake. However, note that the GNU Fortran Compiler will still consider
`*.for' files to be Fortran 77 by default, so you'll have to instruct it
to explicitly assume free-form Fortran 90 input, with .e.g.:
$ ./configure FCFLAGS='-ffree-form -x f95' LDFLAGS='-x none'
This solution is probably not the best one, and is certainly not pretty,
but it should work. If you can come up with a more general one, I'd be
happy to hear about it.
