Title: Fortran compiler for the Miggy?
Post by: Bodie on February 02, 2003, 02:44:19 PM

I'm looking to port a small program whose source code is in the Fortran language (don't ask:-D ) ! Does anyone know of a Fortran compiler for the Amiga? Any help would be most appreciated  :-) .

Cheers

Here (http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/amiga/amigafaq/AmigaFAQ_25.html), here (http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/info/www/dirs/dev_lang.html).

And that seems about it. So only one commercial Fortran77 compiler on the Miggy developed by something called AbSoft in the Dark 1.3 Ages. Good luck finding that :-D.

-edit-
Here (http://www.fh-lippe.de/~spider/Amiga/AMIL_1255/PERSONS5FDENMARK.html), search webpage for Fortran, seems like the author of a Fortran compiler?

There is a shareware one. I used it in the summer of '93. Sorry I can't remember the name but I got it from Aminet. So a search there should help. Just one warning there is a bug in the maths library when calculating powers of very small numbers.

Happy fortraning.

While not Amiga specific, here (http://www.fortran.com/fortran/free.html) are some Fortran compilers and tools you may (and I stress may) find useful.

How about the Absoft (http://www.absoft.com/) home page?

Maybe if enough Amiga users pester them, they'll release the Amiga version as freeware!  :-P

gcc comes with a FORTRAN front end. I don't know how to drive it, but its binary is in /bin under g77.

I've already bugged them about it :-D.
