[photran] Photran running on Windows - console output

[Stephen Carr <sgcarr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List

I have built gcc, g++, gfortran and g95 in cygwin from source for 
students to use the Photran IDE and the "free" Fortran 90/95 compilers.

The problem I have hit is Console output requiring a Call Flush() after 
every write to output to get any user interaction- the cursor is in the 
"wrong" place due to a problem wrt pipes / tty. It seems this is an 
ongoing problem. Any fix in the pipeline?

The other problem is getting gdb to work - I have built gdb but it seems 
to fail - I am having to tell students about using "trace writes".

The other niggle is having to place cygwin1.dll in each project folder 
or with risk (update of cygwin) in the windows\system32 folder.

Thanks in advance
Stephen Carr
