[photran] GFortran/MinGW + MyEclipse + Photran

[photran] GFortran/MinGW + MyEclipse + Photran

Hi all,

Several comments/questions r.e. subject:

(1) I’ve successfully installed GFortran/MinGW, the “Full Photran for

Windows” (4.0 beta 1) package, and compiled test cases.

(2) Because I’ve become accustomed to several of the MyEclipse

perspectives/features (Web, J2EE, server invocation, …), I then

installed the “Photran Feature” (4.0 beta 1) into that existing

environment (MyEclipse 5.1.1, which is built on Eclipse Platform

3.2.2). This environment has CDT 3.1.2 installed, and appears to

match the Photran 4.0 beta 1 requirements as stated on

(The main page (above) does state 4.0 beta 1 is for Eclipse 3.2.1,

but the actual installation and several other pages report Eclipse

3.2.2). This configuration (MyEclipse, Photran, GFortran, MinGW)

also compiles without error -- however, on startup the error

“Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: org.

eclipse.jface” (along with a class tree) is reported in the workspace

log. This startup error goes away when files named “makefile” are

removed from the Fortran projects. Internet perusal suggests the

issue may be related to incompatible plugins/jars. Does anyone

have a suggestion for tracking down this startup issue? (I’d rather

not run two separate environments (one Eclipse-based for Photran

and another one MyEclipse-based for C/C++/J2EE/Web)).

(3) There is no GFortran error parser in the as-delivered Photran

4.0 beta 1 package (I’d been using the g95 parser). There is,

however, a GFortranErrorParser.java in photranDebugv0.5-source.tar

was able to make that (org.eclipse.photran.core.GFortranParser)

appear in the error parser choice list. Anybody know if there is any

coordination between the 4.0 beta 1 release and the UIUC group?

What part of photranDebugv0.5-source.tar is incorporated in 4.0 beta 1?

In reading back, this appears a little rambling. Hope you can pick out

the salient parts…
