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?
