To Debian,
I am a software developer that has used f2c as a tool to convert my Fortran code to C and C++. David Makepeace worked for me in the 1990's and set up a set of scripts to convert to Visual Studio 6. There is a huge investment in the Fortran code so a rewrite is impossible. We did a GDI library in C that we linked with the c code developed from the f2c operation. Step (1) Debug in an old windows 95 interface using Salford Fortran compiler direct Step (2) Fortran program.for to program.f to program.c as a series of c files. Uses old f2c.exe The old f2c.exe runs in 32 bit mode under XP. We can still run under XP. Step (3) Use the Microsoft c compiler to create the program.o files. Library creation for all programs. Step (4) Create open file dialog and GDI interface and create a kmd.lib and kmd.dll as the Keays Machine dependent library. We worked on UNIX and SUN in the 1990's but that has long gone by the way when Autodesk went to Windows only. Step (5) Create the f2c.lib and f2c.dll. These were done under Visual Studio 6 and stayed unchanged. I have now updated to Visual Studio 2010 and joined the MAP club at Microsoft so I can get access to VS2012, VS2013 if I need it. I am now moving to VS 2010 as the safest next step. Step (3) above works for the old Fortran to C code. Step (4) works except it is giving a run time warning on the file open. VISTA has a new open file dialog box with more options. So I am okay with the kmd.dll and kmd.lib Step (5) I can use the old f2c.lib and f2c.dll but I think it still calls the MSVCRT run time libraray for Visual Studio 6. After all this I just want the open source decks for the f2c library. Any help welcomed.
