AI Thread Summary
To compile Fortran code using Cygwin on Windows Vista, the G95 Fortran compiler must be installed alongside Cygwin. The correct version to download is the "Self-extracting Cygwin x86" from the G95 website. After downloading, executing the archive will install G95 within the Cygwin environment. It is important to run the binary "g95-Cygwin.exe" from a Cygwin prompt to ensure proper functionality. There is no need to install MinGW if Cygwin is already set up.

I was given a CD with fortran files as part of my senior year project
(biology major here), that said in order to compile the code (using
cygwin), to install 'cygwin' and 'g95' Fortran compiler. I think i got
the 'cygwin' succesfully installed (after watching numerous youtube
videos) on my Windows Vista (added it to 'path' variable in
Environmental Variables). But when it comes to g95 i am confused, what
to install (there are so many packages/binaries on G95 website)? It
mentions about 'minGW' on the G95 website, would i still need 'minGW'
if i installed cygwin?

can you please help me in getting 'g95' compatible with 'cygwin' ?

Thanks,
Amanda

It seems you have to go to the G95 download page, and choose "Self-extracting Cygwin x86". After the download, just execute the archive to get the G95 installed in your Cygwin.
The link:
http://ftp.g95.org/g95-Cygwin.exe

PS: Call the binary "g95-Cygwin.exe" FROM a cygwin prompt.

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
