So we need either Jim or Arjen to confirm that. As I am sure you already know (but I will state it again for others on this list) gcc-3.x includes g77 while gcc-4.x includes gfortran, the replacement to g77. g77 only works for our f77 interface, while gfortran works for both our f77 and f95 interfaces. It appears from the MinGW download page that they have not yet officially released a gcc-4.x version. Fortunately, you can find an unofficial MinGW gfortran binary at (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries). I assume the installer mentioned there would automatically include the rest of gcc-4.x as well (since gfortran depends on the core components of gcc-4.x). If that version doesn't work properly, a google search for (mingw gfortran) turns up hits that include directions for building gfortran on MinGW. In researching this post, I ran into an extremely interesting site (http://www.willus.com/ccomp.shtml?p00) comparing the various windows compilers (both commercial and free) that are available. The site isn't kept completely up to date (most entries are typically a year old), but it appears to be quite comprehensive within that limitation. For example, the MinGW link there points to a April 2005 post detailing why the MinGW team were waiting for gcc-4.1. That sounds very reasonable for that epoch, but that was a long time ago (in computer years). For example, gcc-4.1.0 was released almost a year ago so I don't understand why the MinGW developers are not releasing an official version of gcc-4.x yet. Perhaps it will be coming soon?
