You can customize the compilation process of your Fortran programs with the Fortran Compilation Environment (FCE) included with the Intel® Fortran Compiler. FCE provides a methodology of handling compilation according to the size and structure of your program. In addition, the FCE provides a methodology for code reusability and other automated features. The modular approach also facilitates several levels of use, from short programs to complex and large-scale projects.
This section describes the essential components of the Intel® Fortran Compilation Environment (FCE) of the Intel Fortran Compiler:
Object files
Dictionary files
Program Unit Catalog Files and Program Unit Catalog List Files
The FCE Manager Utility
Binder
The Binder program scans the FCE to create a list of objects required to build the program.
In addition, this section describes the essential structure of Fortran program units and how to compile them: Fortran programs with and without modules and stale program units.
