Fortran compiler

[Elliot Cramer]

A few years ago I started converting a large old Fortran program which I had running on an IBM 7040 and then on a 360. I have a copy of Lahey Fortran and ran into a compiler bug and gave up on it. How can I download your compiler and get documentation. I don't understand what I've read on the internetThanksElliot

Elliot,

Let me know what system you want the compiler to run on?

Linux, Windows, PowerPC?

I can guide you through installing on some of these.

Usually we build it from source. However, many linux distributions have 
packages you can install easily.

Cheers,

Jerry

Hi,

I have an online Fortran course
https://learning.rc.virginia.edu/courses/fortran_introduction/
The section on "Setting Up Your Environment" has instructions for installing gfortran on Windows using MinGW-w64

You generally need some kind of IDE on Windows.  I use one called Geany (free) but there are other options.

An alternative is to use a prebuilt distribution. See my answer to William

Hi Elliot,

Did you look at my online instructions?  You can also use a prebuilt distribution as Arjen suggests.  If you’re not actually on the mailing list but just sending to it so didn’t see that, he recommended http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran <http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran>. You would still need to make sure your PATH is set so that gfortran and the other binaries you’d need are visible.

Unless you are adept with the Windows command line, you should look into a graphical development environment.  The problem with those is that most don’t support Fortran well or at all.  The two free, cross-platform ones I know that do are Geany and Code::Blocks.  Geany is more like a nice editor with some buttons for compiling and running (and it can run a Makefile) whereas Code::Blocks is closer to a traditional IDE.  Both may expect you to be using gfortran and would require some configuration if you wanted to use the Intel oneAPI option.  Easy to do, but an extra step to keep in mind.

VSCode is all the rage but I fought with it just to try to use it for C++ and didn’t want even to try Fortran.

Please try reading my instructions, see whether it helps to clarify things.  MinGW and such don’t directly have Fortran.  You first install MSYS2 and MinGW and you have to then install Fortran as a package.

https://learning.rc.virginia.edu/courses/fortran_introduction/setting_up <https://learning.rc.virginia.edu/courses/fortran_introduction/setting_up>/

I have not tried downloading from Arjen’s suggested site so I can’t comment on the bad link.  It should be safe to install 10.3 and there is bound to be a way to bypass (“whitelist”) the executable.

You guys must have spent a great deal of time and effort developing gfortran and it sounds wonderful.  It would be great if  there was a way of making it available to unsophisticated windows users.  I naively though I could just download load it and be off.  I appreciate you guys trying to help me

Is there a place I can download the GNU Fortran compiler?

Thanks

Re: fortran compiler

[David Bourne]

gfortran is the way to go.

You need Xcode installed first. If its a new computer with Snow Leopard the latest XCode is what you want. The install DVD may have it otherwise the link http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/
should lead you to it. See http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinariesMacOS
to get gfortran for Mac OS 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6.

If you would have kept the discussion on the fortran@gnu
mailing list, I'm sure someone could help you.  I don't
use a Mac (or Windows for that matter).  I assume you 
downloaded from http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries.
You may need to install some Mac specific package via fink,
but whatever it is I can't help you.

Go to the gfortran wiki, which google can help you find.

Dear GNUs gurus,

g77 is not working and I do need a fortran compiler for simple use. I write

Re: Fortran Compiler

[Tobias Schlüter]

Hi Sebastian,

I'm forwarding this to our mailing list so that people that may know the 
answers to your questions can answer you.  Your questions (my 
translation) were:

1. "I'm trying to compile LAPACK on Windows x64.  The link for AMD64 
binaries on http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries leads nowhere. 
Could you please upload them, if possible?"

No I can't I'm not building them, and I don't know who did that in the 
past.  This person is certainly on this list, so they might respond 
themselves.

2. "Will there also be a MinGW version for AMD64?"

I have no idea.  First, I don't know if you mean MinGW itself, or the 
compiler.  If there is a MinGW running on ix86-64, getting gfortran to 
run on it should be an issue of downloading the sources and running 
"configure && make".  If anybody will do this work and post binaries I 
can't tell, this is a volunteer driven project, after all.

Regards,
- Tobi

You can download cygwin binaries of gfortran from gfortran.org. They should
get you going.
