Arjen, you appear to be reporting this issue as a new problem. I would be quite surprised if you don't remember you ran into this Cygwin g77 issue years ago, and we implemented what should still be a good workaround then. Therefore, I have a number of questions in response to what you said above: * What fortran compiler on Cygwin? The original issue occurred for the Cygwin version of g77, and the Cygwin maintainers of that package seemed completely unable to fix it because larger issues were involved. I have forgotten the details, but my impression then was they would never be able to fix Cygwin's version of g77. Have you tried gfortran on Cygwin instead? A search on the Cygwin package list (http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=gfortran) shows lots of hits. * When you did your MinGW test were you inadvertently using g77 from Cygwin rather than the MinGW version of g77 (or MinGW version of gfortran)? Using an incorrect version of g77 might explain the different results you seem to be getting from Werner. * Even if our build-system test of the Fortran compiler shows its ability to deal with the command-line is broken (as well-known for the Cygwin version of g77) our test scripts have a workaround that should handle that case without issues. Could you expand on what you meant when you referred above to "hindering the automatic test". Alan __________________________ Alan W.
