Compile a fortran program with KDevelop

[jeneverboy]

hi
I am used to program with fortran in windows. Now I want to program FORTRAN with KDevelop. The problem is that I dont have any idea how this works in LINUX. Does anyone know a good introduction from the beginning to this? Thanks!

Do you need help setting up kdev to use a fortran compiler?
Or do you need to install a fortran compiler?

Isn't KDevelop a compiler?

I would like to compile with KDev, if it is possible. Just like you would do with visual in windows.

Also the makefile-thing isnot clear to me. But I saw that on an other forum topic.

KDevelop and Visual Studios are IDE's, they give you a nice coding environment

they have backend compilers that actually do the compiling...not the IDE itself

hmm, ok,
I'll try explain shortly.

Kdevelop is just somekind of glueprogram, that has en texteditor, and this program calls/executes the compiler.
This is called an ide "integrated dev. environment"
Normally it contains funky features like,
syntax highlighting, api lookup...


You can write your sourcecode in whatever editor you want.
And then compile it by hand, by typing

gcc yourfile.cpp
In a terminal.


Makefiles are just a program that simply executes a series of compilations, while checking for dependencies in your program.

All compilers as I know them,
are commandline tools.

The gnu compiler for assembler sourcefiles is called g77.

interesting?

[jeneverboy]

ok,

So in the terminal i can type
gcc myfilename.f90 to compile a fortran program.

but then I get this:
gcc: error trying to exec 'f951': execvp: No such file or directory

[jeneverboy]

gfortran -o executable myfilename.f90

creates a executable file named executable. But how do I run this?

[monkeyking]

no not gcc,
I've been using g77 to compile fortran stuff
type

g77 your file

And that makes a .exe right?

And an .exe can be run with Wine (for example) on LINUX systems?

I managed to make an .exe
