Lol.

The MinGW-5.1.6.exe installer program hooks up to a download site, then
downloads and stores various components into whatever folder it was
started from, which was the desktop in your case.

None of this looks like a modern fortran compiler to me. Is there
somebody out there who has successfully built a mingw capacity who can
explain the advantage this has over the simple installer or what you'd
get from equation.com?

Run the installer again and select "download and install". Check off what
you want. If you select g++ and g77, then you will get gcc 3.4.x and g77
3.4.x placed in c:\MinGW and associated sub folders.

The main reason to use this package is if you are doing development with
MinGW such as building compiles from source. You also need MSYS, binutils,
etc. Even so you probably want to update to a more recent version of the
tool chain. [Not that I've had *any* luck compiling from source.]

As I probably said somewhere else, this installer is similar to that for
Cygwin. It downloads and optionally installs packages from a set of
packages.

For ordinary Fortran (and C) users I would stick with the distribution from
equation.com OR the distribution listed in the GNU Wiki. The second one is
based on FX Coudert's old build scripts. It is similar to the one that he
had hosted. http://users.humboldt.edu/finneyb/gfortran-windows.exe

Good grief.

Did you tell it to download and install, or just to download ? If you
told it to install, then all of those tar.gz files would be unpacked
into a Mingw folder. When the dust settles, all you would need to do
would be add c:\mingw\bin (or similar) to the path variable. Notice you
have downloaded g77, not gfortran. That installer you ran is getting old.

fwiw - I do like the equation.com packaging better.

I chose just to download. I left myself a trail in screenshots:

http://i34.tinypic.com/2zrkn14.jpg

http://i36.tinypic.com/bgtp1s.jpg

http://i36.tinypic.com/339hzea.jpg

I figured I'd take a look at the files I was getting while asking for a
full install. The glaring thing about this list is the absence of
anything that looks like gfortran except g77, which I don't really want.
(I have no interest in revisiting the bad old days of fixed form.)

When I get time, I'll choose the download and install to see exactly
what files I end up with and where.

Now I'm going to see Pat Benatar and Nick Geraldo at the outdoor
pavilion at the abq zoo. woo-hoo

It's certainly easier. I'm trying to figure out what you'd gain by
having a mingw install. Doesn't a mingw install hold out the promise of
being able to use GUI events?
