win32 F/OSS development - Fortran
While just as old as COBOL, Fortran seems much cooler than it's business brother. Maybe it's that the first parallel code I ever wrote was using the Fortran interface of LAM/MPI on a beowulf cluster at school. Maybe it's that it's used for hardcore number crunching. Maybe it's that even Bender likes it. Whatever the reason, Fortran is like a WWII vet; pretty darn old, but can still kick your butt.
Install
First hit up the gfortran page.
The wiki page has links to binaries.
Grab the 'mingw build' and run the installer.
It should install the binaries and add the \bin sub-directory to your path.
You might want to look at Tcl/Tk or f90gl for some graphic bindings.
Documentation
- G95Manual: user's manual for G95 in PDF
- Professional Programmer's Guide to Fortran77: A nice intro.
- User Notes on Fortran Programming: On ibiblio
- GCC documentation: including the gFortran manual.
- Numerical Recipes in Fortran: I have the C++ version. Very nice.
