RE: [photran] Problems setting up Photran with g95 under WinXP 
Sebastian, sorry you're having such a problem (problems).  At my first read
of your message, I'm not sure where to start to try to help...

On WinXP, I use Eclipse/MyEclipse as my primary technical dev. environment
and am able to do Fortran (via CygWin, though I did have it based on MinGW
for a while), Java, C and C++ development.  I'm big on Smalltalk, so have
kept looking at what's going in Eclipse/Smalltalk out of the corner of my
eye.  Just did a little Java to C to Java prototype dev. thing in Eclipse
and it's worked fine so far (via MinGW, CygWin didn't work -- was able to
basically unplug CygWin and plug in MinGW from within Eclipse by just
changing the local PATH and LIBRARY_PATH project environment variables).
So, what I guess I'm saying is that using Eclipse as the IDE for multiple
languages has worked for me.  That's not to say it hasn't been a technical
challenge at times.  One thing I have done (as a precaution more than
knowing in advance what to do) is to keep a different Eclipse for Fortran
(Photran), different from the Java/C/C++ one (i.e. I have two Eclipse
executables) -- just wasn’t sure how the "beta" versions of Photran might
impact the formal releases of the others (e.g. needing different CDT
versions) and didn't want to have to revisit re-installation of those
working environs.  I haven't gone to Photran 4.02 beta 2, yet -- keeping my
eye on the implementation issues reported in this forum.

Not sure what "ToolChain" refers to, perhaps you can elaborate?  I'll try to
help as time allows...

Regards, Bob

Subject: [photran] Problems setting up Photran with g95 under WinXP

Hi,

I have been working on this for the past two days and I'm starting to get a
little frustrated, so 
maybe someone can help me out of this ...

What do I want?
===============
Using WinXP, I want to set up an IDE, which will enable me to develop in C,
C++, Fortran (77 & 90) 
and later maybe PHP, Java ... so, Eclipse seems to be the choice, right?!?

What have I done so far?
========================
I first installed ...

   - msysDTK-1.0.1
   - MinGW-5.1.3
   - g95-MinGW
   - gdb-5.2.1-1

... to have the necessary compilers available on my system. I pretty much
followed the suggestions 
by Bob Hoffman (http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/photran/msg00463.html)
and only changed the 
directories to point to C:\Programme\msys\...
I have testet the compilers (g77, g95, gcc, g++) with simple "Hello World"
applications and 
appropriate makefiles and everything seems to work just fine from the
commandline.


I then followed the suggestions of B. Tibbitts
(dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/photran/msg00513.html) 
to set up eclipse, CDT & Photran ...

   - eclipse-SDK-3.3.1-win32 (unziped to C:\Programme\eclipse)
   - CDT 4.0.1               (installed using the Update-Manager)
   - photran-4.0-beta2       (unziped to C:\Programme\eclipse)

What do I get?
==============
Well, I was able to create, build and execute a "HelloWorld"-app from within
eclipse. I'm not quite 
sure, ir eclipse is really using the MinGW g++ compiler, which I have
installed, or rather some 
internal compiler ...

I can also select "New" -> "Fortran Project" / "Project types" ->
"Executable(Gnu Fortran)" ...

So, where is the problem?
=========================
..., but in the "Toolchain" the MinGW G95-compiler is not in the selection
list and I'm stuck!

Right now, I have no idea how to proceed and I would surely appreciate any
help.

Thanks

Sebastian
