Although I have the Intel Fortran compiler installed (version 11.1, evaluation version), scons doesn't find it. Instead it tries to use gfortran (and fails).

I can certainly confirm this is still an issue on both Windows and Linux. The examples in my repo here:

Will not compile out of the box if the ifort tool is added to the environment.

not surprised... the Intel compilers have moved and morphed over the years.

Yeah, keeping track of their constantly changing directory structure is a little painful.

One possibility might just be to make it work with PrependENVPath. So, if I put the ifort or ifx binary location into the environment path the tool can detect it and work out the include and linker paths from that. Not sure though.

There are also Intel's configuration scripts. This might be another way to do it. i.e. run their setup script to configure the environment.
