Note

This tip is a draft1.

A program containing a module and main program is compiled with g95 as

g95 m.f90 main.f90

or with separate compilation

create m.o and main.o with the -c option#

g95 -c m.f90 g95 -c main.f90

link objects to create exec#

g95 -o exec m.o main.f90

Other compilers are similar.
