GFortran

quick start

sudo port install gcc49

sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc49

gfortran -v

first install a gcc compiler using macports

• type

port search --name gcc*

• select one to install for example

sudo port install gcc49

• check what installs are active

port installed 'gcc*'

• the files will be installed in /opt/local/bin
• a check will not show the new compiler

gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.37)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

• check gfortran version does not work

gfortran -v

port installed '*fortran*' returns None of the specified ports are installed.

• because the MacPorts are installed in /opt and not /usr, you either need to either specify the full path, or explicitly set which compiler to use on your system.
• they will not have the standard name, in my case the fortran is gfortran-mp-4.9
• you can use MacPorts to select the default compiler

port select --list gcc

Available versions for gcc:
	mp-gcc49
	none (active)

sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc49

Selecting 'mp-gcc49' for 'gcc' succeeded. 'mp-gcc49' is now active.

gfortran -v

Using built-in specs.

using fortran

• normally you will just need to "make" a package downloaded
• alternatively to compile individual files

• To compile file source.f90

gfortran -c source.f90

• To link into runfile executable

gfortran -o executable object1.o object2.o ...

• To combine the above

gfortran -o executable source1.f90 source2.f90

• .f files are assumed fixed form files
• .f90 or .f95 are assumed free form files

• note: on old macs the default version of fortran is /usr/local/gfortran and /usr/local/bin/gfortran

if required use sudo rm -r /usr/local/gfortran /usr/local/bin/gfortran
