collect2: CreateProcess: No such file or directory

[jon]

I have a small Fortran 77 program (mrpp.f) that I can compile with
Lahey. I installed the Mingw build of gfortran that I got today from
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries. Something is wrong with the
installation on my Windows Vista computer, and the diagnostic isn't
helping me resolve the problem. I've used a previous mingw build
before with no problem, so I'm asking for any clues on how to proceed
(the Mac version is working OK).

P.S.

I set the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

LIBRARY_PATH=C:\Program Files\gfortran\lib

should I drill down further into this directory, say for example, to:

C:\Program Files\gfortran\lib\gcc\i586-pc-mingw32\4.4.0 ??

(I'm running 32 bit version, but eh i386... path has only directory
(version) 4.3.0 in it.

There are too many random choices for me to make without some help.
Thanks in advance.

That's a Vista issue: you should add that directory (which normally
contains f951.exe) to your PATH (not to you LIBRARY_PATH, but to your
PATH).

That's because I made the build system (for the binaries you
downloaded) go from i386 to i586 some time between 4.3 and 4.4 (to
enable OpenMP, some i586 features are needed).

Thanks, FX, I'll try that. I'm on the Mac right now. Since everything
works well on the Mac, I should probably analyze the differences in
the future and make adjustments.

BTW, if I do a simple

gfortran -c mrpp.f

the object code file mrpp.o is created properly without error or
warning. It is only when attempting a full compile and link that the
error occurs. This is what led me to suspect that it might be a
library connection issue. I need to get some experience with the gcc
compilers to interpret some of the non-fortran oriented messages.

OK, that makes sense. I need to keep up with the reading of the
gfortran list to keep abreast. Things are evolving much faster than my
brain is adapting <grin>. Thanks.

FX,

I re-installed, checked environment variables, and still have same
error message.

Follwing is a session (with some parts un-rolled for better viewing).
As you can see, all paths referenced are valid, and the (permanent)
files referenced all exist.

Do you have any further suggestions?

No, I don't. But thanks for the detailed debugging session: I've
reported it in the GCC bug database: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/

Using the fix suggested by the mingw GCC maintainer in that PR, I
have made a new build that should have the issue fixed: could you
download it (http://quatramaran.ens.fr/~coudert/gfortran/gfortran-
windows.exe) and tell me if it works fine? You can remove the
"libexec" directory from your path, and it should still work fine.

[jon]

FX,

excellent. ça marche bien.

You can mark this one as fixed.
