lots of High Energy Physics stuff is in fortran; we used to use C for the important things like making sure the antimatter didnt come into contact with matter anywhere near the building we worked in, and left it to the physicists to do number processing in what was then Fortran 8x, now F90. Its got good vector processing stuff, and for all the clunkiness of bits of it.
Regarding fortran support in the ant-contrib project (Which is a separate project from ant BTW), I'd recommend writing a new adapter for your new compiler/language combination. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Maffeis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 05:25 Subject: RE: Problem compiling Fortran files using gcc compiler and cpptasks > C, CPP, or Java would be nice, but a lot of the code is in Fortran and we > can't convert thousands of programs.... > I am trying to take all the existing code, get rid of the make files, and > use Ant. > > Patricia > > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 9:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Problem compiling Fortran files using gcc compiler and cpptasks > > > > Side Question: > Why not bite the bullet and go 'C' 'CPP' or Java?? > > Martin Gainty > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- > ----------------------------- > > > > > >From: Patricia Maffeis > >Reply-To: "Ant Developers List" > >To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" > >Subject: Problem compiling Fortran files using gcc compiler and cpptasks > >Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 10:48:33 -0400 > > >Hi, > > > >While trying to build FORTRAN files using the "gcc" compiler (in a Linux > >platform) I discovered that cpptasks.jar will allow (for gcc) to compile > >only files with extensions ".c", ".cpp", etc .
