Re: [photran] gfortran/photran installation questions

If you are developing non-commercial software, then the Intel compiler is available for free. If this is the case, I highly recommend it as it is quite fast and well-optimized in comparison to gfortran.

I think its linked to the fact that gfortran doesn't appear to be compatible with 64 bit Windows (typing gfortran in command prompt gives an error about 32 and 64 bit versions), as I do have cygwin/gfortran under the correct path as per the instructions in the photran documentation
