cygwin +g95

[Amanda Bell]

I was given a CD with fortran files as part of my senior year project
(biology major), that said in order to compile the code (using
cygwin), to install 'cygwin' and 'g95' Fortran compiler. I think i got
the 'cygwin' succesfully installed (after watching numerous youtube
videos) on my Windows Vista (added it to 'path' variable in
Environmental Variables). But when it comes to g95 i am confused, what
to install (there are so many packages/binaries on G95 website)? It
mentions about 'minGW' on the G95 website, would i still need 'minGW'
if i installed cygwin?

can you please help me in getting 'g95' compatible with 'cygwin' ?

Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda,

You can get g95 for cygwin from here:
http://www.g95.org/downloads.shtml#CS

You should download the "Self-extracting Cygwin x86" exe file from either the http or ftp sites. Running the exe should install g95 (it's been a while since I last did this). After that, try compiling a simple "Hello World" program to make sure it works properly.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Cheers

Thanks a lot for your reply. I did go to g95.org website, but in the download there is no mention of Windows Vista compatibility.

Hi Amanda,
Well, I'm using g95 with cygwin on Windows 7 right now! So, I guess it would also be compatible with Vista.

In any case, just try and see :P
