Do you have any idea if there is either a fortran compiler or an egcs-like multiple-language compiler available for OS X? I am most interested in finding out if there is either a …

Hi, I needed Fortran but got away with using f2c (Fortran to C translater) instead. Download it from http://netlib.bell-labs.com Contact me if you have trouble compiling it. /P

Thanks persquare. I'm familiar with f2c, but have not used it extensively. Is it fairly robust or does it tend to choke sometimes? My code is perfect, of course , but some of …

Hi, I've used f2c to compile Octave (a Matlab like environment for numerical analysis, http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave) which has large chunks of Fortran code. Never choked once...…

If you are doing Fortran development in OSX/Darwin, you really should use g77. I have used it before with PPC Linux, but I have never encountered it on BSD. It shouldn't be hard …

Thank you for the f2c info and the suggestion of g77. I hadn't even thought of g77 on OS X. I'll check into it. g77 is what I use under linux so it is particularly lame of me!

I've used f2c too. It did a good job. You can even read the C code it poops out. I used it on a single file fucntion call. So it was only a simple test of it. I bet Darwin has an …

stardoc: any luck with g77?

Hi persquare and absmiths, I found g77/ecgs/gcc, but I'm a bit confused as to which pieces I need to combine to build a working compiler...any suggestions? In any event, my copy …

My brother used to use Macf2c and I believe he was very pleased with it. If I recall correctly it worked really well with CodeWarrior.

Has anyone had any luck installing g77? I have installed the apple developer tools and downloaded the source code for g77 seperately, but have no idea how to proceed. I'm a bit of …

I've yet to install g77. I got the AD toolkit w/ its cc compiler, but haven't started with fortran yet.

FWIW, I've been using Mac F2C with Code Warrior for years, and it has always worked beautifully for me.

It seems that there are many programs like f2c and g77 available for download, but once I have the files I have no idea what to do with them! Isn't there anyone out there who has m…

I'm still desperately waiting for a report of successfully compiled g77 for the public beta. Anyone??

I have been trying to find any information on how to write a background only application (BOA) under Mac OS X. I know how to do this under Mac OS 9, but I cannot find any info on …

I think what you probably want is to write a daemon. They run in the background and provide service, eg. webserver, telnet server. If you just want to start something in the backgr…

I don't have the info right in front of me but you could add a flag to the CustomInfo.plist "Application Setting" called isBGOnly YES. This makes it background only...

Several times now, my Project folder including source files has gotten deleted, leaving the object code in a *.build folder. In my course of building and debugging, I lose track o…

ProjectBuilder is the only IDE I have ever seen that works the way it does when removing a file from the project. Normally when you remove a file from a project it just removes th…

But I never "removed" any files.

Is it possible to add another programming language to the ProjectBuilder IDE? I know it supports C/C++/Obj-C/Java so it seems extensible, but I wanted to see if other thought it wo…
