GNU Fortran G77 v0.5.25

(G77 v.2.95 for MinGW32)

Binaries for Win32

(Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP)

August 12, 1999

The minimal set of G77 v0.5.25 for Win32 (Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT4/2000/XP) consists of the Fortran-specific executables and libraries of the EGCS project, as ported to the Win32 environment by Mr Mummit Khan (this is the so-called GNU-MinGW32 variety that uses DLLs that exist in all basic Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000/XP installations.)

Important Notes

• This minimal set cannot compile C files, just Fortran files. If one wishes to have a more complete environment capable of compiling both C files and Fortran files then one should collect the full binary distribution from the links given in Mr Khan's site (approx. 7 Mb)
• The binaries of this set are Win32 "console" executables, not DOS executables. Therefore these cannot run under plain DOS, nor in a DOS window under Windows 3.1x, only in Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT4/2000/XP consoles (and so do the executables that are produced by the compiler.)

The set consists of the following files:

• g77exe.zip (1.54Mb), the archive that contains the compiler,linker and ancillary executables
• g77lib.zip (208Kb), the archive that contains the G77 libraries
• g77doc.zip (301Kb),the archive that contains the G77 documentation. Note that this documentation is in HTML format, so it can be read using any web browser such as Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Installation Steps

All the above ZIP archives should be un-zipped with the free unzip.exe utility (115Kb. Download the file unzip.zip and rename it to unzip.exe) . This utility will preserve both, the folder structure of the archives and the long filenames that some of the library files have. Typically, unzipping the files in, say, the drive C: will create the folder C:\G77 with the three sub-folders C:\G77\Bin, C:\G77\Lib and C:\G77\Doc. Futher instructions are supplied in the file C:\G77\Readme1.txt
