[wsjt-devel] CMake 4.0 compatibility (and Fortran issue)

[Richard S. <hob...@gm...>]

Fedora will be upgrading to CMake 4.0 which is dropping compatibility with
CMake versions < 3.5.

This means that setting CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED < 3.5 will exit with an
error.

My workaround for Fedora is to set CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 as an
environment variable or passed as an option to CMake, where I ran into a
new Fortran issue.

/usr/bin/ld: error: decoder.f90.o: is triggering the generation of an
executable stack (because it has an executable .note.GNU-stack section)
/usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This of course usually happens with major updates to gcc (15.1.1) which
also updates fortran.

Thanks,
Richard
