Answer 3

I'm new you to fortran actually

Answer 4

On what opertating system?
rsmith6559 was talking about this one:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran

And this looks like it might help:
http://www.g95.org/

If you like VisualStudio you can use this:

And I know MinGW also has Fortran support:
http://www.mingw.org/

Answer 5

The operating system is windows 8
I installed mingw, but when I tried to use it either netbeans it says there are missing tools especially make command

Answer 6

I mean with netbeans *
Not either lol

Answer 7

MinGW does come with make. Confirm that it installed

C:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe
C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin\make.exe

The rest may be issues with pathing or settings somewhere.

Answer 8

i checked the directory
C:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe
nothing like is in there
the second one i don't have it at all

Answer 9

this is what i have under mingw32-
there is not make.exe

Answer 10

Answer 13

Hmm... it did not like mkdir, or Make Directory, so it could not make a temp build directory.

Now, mkdir is in windows... so it may be a permissions issue.

Answer 14

Hmm any idea how to solve this issue
How to allow permission

Answer 15

@ganeshie8 do you have sometimes :)

Answer 17

Tried running it as admin? Tried changing the permisions on the output forlder?

Answer 18

I solved it! thanks for your help
i changed mingw to cygwin, but i think the issue was the permission
i tried running it as an admin and worked

Answer 19

Yah, so it was not letting it make a directory. Windows 8 is really picky about that stuff.
