Re: [9fans] FORTRAN and tools [was: Modern development language for Plan 9

Agreed, but is there a FORTRAN compiler/cross-compiler for Plan 9? f2c (from netlib) is trivial to get running. This gives you Fortran 77. It has been sufficient for my needs (spice, zork, some grib stuff). --lyndon

unless your memory confused that with the fact that I can run Blue Gene binaries produced by XLC/XLF, I don't recall what you mean ... ron Haha, yes, that's it. My memory indeed got confused. Sorry for the noise!

I don't write in fortran, but I certainly link to libraries written in it. It is a truly awful language in any of its incarnations, but sometimes the library you need is in fortran. Fortunately it's not to hard to link to from C once you understand its calling conventions and array ordering.
