    Compiler Fortran
Click For 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 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
