Re: [photran] Has anyone successfully installed Photran in Helios on Ubu

[David Bal <ddbal1@xxxxxxxxx>]

I installed Helios and Photran on Ubuntu 10.4.

I downloaded Helios from the Eclipse website:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

I downloaded the CDT zip file:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/helios/

I downloaded the Photran zip file:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/builds/4.0.0

I downloaded the zip files because I was having trouble with the networked install.  The zip files worked.

I uncompressed the Eclipse 3.6 files into a folder.  I then ran Eclipse from a by opening a terminal window and navigating to that folder and typing ./eclipse.  I then installed CDT and Photran as stated in the Photran instruction section "Installing on a Machine Without Internet Access"

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
David Bal

P.S.  I am so happy that managed Make is working in Photran 6.  I previously alphabetized my source files in the order of their dependencies to get around making my own Make files (I'm too used to Visual Studio).  To everyone who works on Photran - Thank you.

Hi,

I gave up on my current linux install, deleted my .eclipse and workspace
directories and removed and reinstalled Helios.

I followed the instructions on
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/photran/documentation/photran6#Installing_on_a_Machine_With_Internet_Access
and doing so allows one to install "Fortran Development Tools
(Photran)." However there's no mention of a "Photran End-User Runtime."

I proceeded to install the Fortran Development Tools, restarted Eclipse
and found no Fortran dev tools (no Fortran settings, no Fortran Project,
nothing.) Looking in About Eclipse to see what is actually installed, I
find a lot of C/C++ development tools under "Fortran Development Tools"
but no mention of Photran or Fortran tools anywhere in the Eclipse UI.

Previous to deleting everything and starting from scratch, I assumed the
Helios update servers were broken and had lost the actual parts of
Photran I was trying to install due to heavy load (i.e. the online
installation process was somehow broken.) I tried following
http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/photran/documentation/photran6#Installing_on_a_Machine_Without_Internet_Access
and found that the only archives were of release candidates, not of the
actual production code. I downloaded and installed the latest archive
and ended up with the same lack of Fortran tools, only the C/C++ stuff.

So, what do I really have to do to install the most recent production
version of Photran with Helios on linux. Has anyone successfully
installed it?

FWIW, I've been using Photran successfully on Windows & Linux over the
past year so I'm familiar with the standard installation process. What
am I missing this time around?
