So, I've been thinking about how to document how one uses gfortran on
windows and intend to use my own tendency to think a picture is worth
between 3 and 5 paragraphs.

I could sit here tapping the keys to describe my first quandary with
this material, and where the hms pinafore was helping out, but a picture
also reveals the point of view of the user:

http://i33.tinypic.com/11liuep.jpg

I followed the mingw link this time, as opposed to going to
equation.com. I couldn't find binaries when directed along the path
that the gfortran folks seemed to want to send me down.

I've never had a problem with the products from equation.com, but I
wanted to see what else was out there.

So, If I'm a person who is well-advised to get a mingw 32 bit xp binary,
where was I to find it?

Hi,

I'm not well-advised, but some time ago I've installed Code::Blocks
with mingw included and now I found I have gfortran as well. I guess
gfortran is included in mingw binaries...

Hope this helps,

Fernando.

Just as another consequence of not being well-advised, I realized that
I've not obtained gfortran via Code::Blocks but specifically by
installing

tdm-mingw-1.908.0-4.4.1-2.exe

which I downloaded some months ago from

http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
(maybe there are newer versions)

And, at install time, I required to install every available language
(i.e. including Fortran)

I, too, need some help/advice with this.

I am using an AMD 64 with XP.

I have been running both g95 and gfortran for years with Cygwin and
decided to see how things work with MinGW. I spent a long time chasing
links to and from gnu, gfortran, wiki, sourceforge, etc. Finally found
three versions to try. One doesn't appear to contain gfortran (g77 is
there). Another (gfortran.org I think) and the one from equations.com
seem to install and gfortran.exe is in C:\gfortran\bin in both cases,
but when I try to execute it, I get "Access denied". Trying with a
bash shell gives "Permission denied". All the .exe files in the bin
directory have execute permission.

There are several versions from each site and I am not even sure which
ones to try.

Next I tried g95. It installed, but gave the message

g95: _spawnvp: Exec format error

Any ideas? Thanks.

I also have a laptop i3 with W7. I'll try it next.

Well, I seemed to have stumbled on the cause of my problems.
I renamed the Cygwin directory and all seems OK.

It works on both computers (the version from
gnu.gcc.org/wiki/GFortranBinariesWindows).

G95 still has a problem, but I think it is now
a library path problem.
