| [photran] URGENT Photran: Cygwin vs minGW for Fortran?! |
|
Hello, I am new to Fortran. My position is a S/W 1 at NCAR in Boulder Colorado. Requiring me to learn to code in fortran! So please... excuse me if these questions of mine, are obviously novice in nature. My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite (not Pro), w/Vista sp1 installed. 2 Gb of ram and a 150 Gb HD! 1. I have mingw installed and based on "photran-Fortran.pdf", that I downloaded with "Photran", this doc refer's to Cygwin! Why? 2. As I am not using Cygwin, but MinGW... ! The bin dir holds g95 and mingw32-make.exe. Are either of these comparable to cygwins "Makefile" for Fortran? 3. I've gotten a "NullPointerException" when I tried to run my hello world, fortran program! Why, which pointer is of in the "weeds"? LiBRARY_PATH c:\MinGW\lib;c:\MinGW\lib\gcc-lib\i686-pc-mingw32\4.0.3 Path C:\Program Files\NAG\NAGWare_f95\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\ULEADS~1\MPEG;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\include;C:\MinGW\lib\gcc-lib\i686-pc-mingw32\4.1.2;%PATH% 4. Is it possible that the exception occurred due to my 'path' statments/order? Note: I need photran to work on my laptop, so that I may use it to Learn fortran at home, at night, and on weekends! I must learn FORTRAN. Please Help, Kevin Rediscover Hotmail®: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry Check it out. |
