From: "Richard E. Hawkins" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Reply-To: dochawk@psu.edu, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 11:19:42 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is anyone else running a linux fortran compiler on FreeBSD? We have two boxes coming--a thinkpad a21p in about 2 weeks, and a dual athlon once it ships--whose primary purposes will be to develop fortran code for bashing numbers. As far as I know, there are no commercial fortran compilers targeted to freebsd (and the free compilers almost implement f77; I need f90 plus one or two f95 features). I'd rather stick with FreeBSD for both boxes (I'll almost surely use the same on both), but does anyone have experience with this? My current data seems to be: 1) Lahey. Price is right, phone supporte, no graphical debugger--deal killer. (I *need* to watch variables while single stepping). 2) Absoft. Expensive, but I spent a lot of time with it a couple of years ago (I ended up a beta tester after some of the strange things I found.) 3) NAG. INtermediate C. No multithreading. NAG library is outrageously priced even for academic use. 4) Portland group. Annual maintennance fee (yuck). Develops mp code. email support. None seem to indicate that they test on freebsd--or even have any idea whether their compiler or built code would run . . . hawk -- Prof. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
