cmake port looks for a fortran compiler, why? and doesn't find one, is this ok?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi;

  While installing the rust port (compiling from source), cmake is a
dependency...

Why does the cmake port look for a fortran compiler?

It fails, seems ok, it goes on...

But  I've already installed gcc14 and I think that the fortran
compiler was installed, shouldn't cmake be shown that a fortran
instance exists?

What's the fallout from cmake not having a fortran compiler?

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
