Does 'g95link' Need to be Created First for FORTRAN GUI with DISLIN?

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the necessity of creating 'g95link' for developing a GUI in FORTRAN using DISLIN. The user encountered a "g95link not found" error after attempting to compile example programs with the command "g95link -a exa_f90.f90". It was established that 'g95link' is not automatically created and is distinct from 'gfortran', which the user has installed. The user seeks clarification on whether linking can be accomplished using the "-lxxx" command with 'gfortran' instead.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of FORTRAN programming language
  • Familiarity with DISLIN library for graphical interfaces
  • Knowledge of g95 and gfortran compilers
  • Basic command line usage in Unix/Linux environments
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to create 'g95link' if it is not automatically generated
  • Explore the usage of the "-lxxx" command with 'gfortran' for linking libraries
  • Investigate the differences between g95 and gfortran compilers
  • Learn about troubleshooting common compilation errors in FORTRAN
USEFUL FOR

FORTRAN developers, software engineers working with graphical interfaces, and anyone integrating DISLIN with FORTRAN applications will benefit from this discussion.

I am trying to create a GUI for FORTRAN using DISLIN. I installed DISLIN in /usr/local/dislin folder and tried to compile some example programs given in the directory.

g95link -a exa_f90.f90
I got the error message

g95link not found.

I wanted to know if "g95link" needs to be created first. Usually "command not found" error can be because the package is not installed or the path is not correct. I have gfortran in my machine. Is there a way to create link files simply by using "-lxxx" command?

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
