Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around Ivan's difficulties in running Fortran code on a Windows 8 system, specifically for calculating the Wigner 6j-Symbol matrix. Participants provide suggestions for compilers and resources to assist him in executing his code.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Ivan expresses his inability to run Fortran code and seeks guidance on compilers suitable for Windows 8.
  • One participant suggests that without a Fortran compiler, Ivan may be unable to proceed and recommends looking into open source options like GCC.
  • Another participant shares links to online compilers that could potentially allow Ivan to run his Fortran code without local installation.
  • A different participant mentions the availability of Intel Fortran and Microsoft tools, noting that they are easy to download and use, though details on obtaining Intel Fortran for free are unclear.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants provide various suggestions for compilers and resources, but there is no consensus on the best approach for Ivan's situation, and the discussion remains open-ended regarding the most effective solution.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations in the discussion regarding the specific steps needed to install and configure the suggested compilers, as well as the functionality of the VN02B function in MATLAB, which Ivan mentions but is not elaborated upon.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals seeking assistance with Fortran programming, particularly in a Windows environment, or those interested in calculating Wigner 6j-Symbol matrices may find this discussion relevant.

Hi there, first of all i am new to the forum, my name is Ivan and i am on 4th year of grade in Physics, i am doing my final work to finish the grade and i need some help in fortran.

The first thing is that i can't even run it, i am using windows 8, i don't know what compiler use or even how to use it, i need to calculate the Wigner 6j-Symbol matrix and i have the code but i have no way to use it, i could use MATLAB but it calls to a function VN02B that i don't even know what it does.

Thanks, Sorry for my english

If you don't have a Fortran compiler installed on your machine which runs under Win 8, you're kind of stuck.

There are some open source compilers available

https://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/

but you would probably need some help in getting these routines installed before trying out your Fortran code. It's also hard to advise on a situation like this thru an internet forum. Is there someone you know who has access to these programming tools already installed, who could maybe show you how to use them?
