Making Visual Studio 2019 a Fortran IDE

I would like to know how I can tune Visual Studio 2019 to have a fully featured modern Fortran IDE for gfortran.

This would include:

• one click compilation
• debuging
• auto-completion

If you also known any other interesting feature I would be interested.

Many thanks.

Gfortran is found in MinGW, so not directly using Windows API, which complicates using it from Visual Studio.

See the following article for a detailed description of the process using CMake:
Fortran for C/C++ developers made easier with CMake.

This involves:

• Creating Visual Studio .lib files from MinGW gfortran
• Including in the project the module CMakeAddFortranSubdirectory.cmake
• Automatically detect the Fortran runtime library and use it
• Automatically Determine Symbol Mangling Used by Fortran Compiler
