RE: [photran] how to install photran-4.0-beta1.zip
|
Karl, no problem...
If you've done previous Eclipse feature/plugin installs from Extension
Locations, then installing the Photran/Eclipse Linux Full Version and adding
back those previous features/plugins via "Manage Configuration" might be the
most efficient way to get up-and-running. Just a thought...
BTW, a good, high level (intro.) Eclipse reference is "Eclipse Distilled",
David Carlson, Addison Wesley...
As far as I can tell (and I may be completely wrong here), this beta Photran
version is the fairly recent outgrowth of a UIUC project paid for by The
Fortran Company, that it may not have all the "rough spots" ironed out, and
that there is no easy "Update Site" available. While the "from scratch"
installation is involved, it does appears to "work".

Thanks, Bob
I really appreciate such a considerate, detailed response. btw, this is
linux (there was only a .zip for the Feature-only download) but some
people are also using it under XP/cygwin.
I'm sure I'll be able to work through this.
My first reaction, though, is that I'm surprised it's not packaged like
everything else. At least a site archive would be nice.
oh well and thanks again!
