Author something like MS Visual Studio for Fortran?
Randall Mackie

2005-05-31, 4:01 pm

Following up on the recent thread about c versus Fortran, speed,
efficiency, etc, someone mentioned that there is no equivalent of
MS Visual Studio to use in compiling Fortran dll's under Windows.
I use Linux, so I would have no idea whether this is true or
not, but I would really doubt it. Is there an equivalent of
MS Visual Studio for Windows/Fortran?

Thanks, Randy

Whoever mentioned that is mistaken. If you're looking for a Fortran compiler
that works in the current Microsoft Visual Studio.NET, Intel Visual Fortran is
one and Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran is another. There are other compiler vendors,
including Absoft, which provide their own IDE. The old Compaq Visual Fortran
worked with the older Visual Studio '98.

One exception might be under a "dos" window - a sngl command,

> df /dll *.for


creates a dll containing all .for files in the working dir. VS is not
out of the loop completely - that's where you cut & paste "dllexport"
directives to files that need them.

The 'old' CVF remains far more popular than the wanabe IVF. Besides IVF is
a .NET imposter unlike Lahey/Fujitsu and Salford Fortran .NET.
