hi
i think this will make me seem dummier than most, actually i don't even understand most of the posts in the dummie section...
i have a project and i need to learn fortran programming, im working on a windows xp pc and so i have installed cygwin. and the cygwin site basically says learn unix so here I am.
I managed to unzip the g95 fortran compiler tarball from
www.g95.org but beyond that I can't follow the manual...
The manual includes simple examples such as
g95 -c hello.f90
"Compiles hello.f90 to an object file named hello.o."
but when i type
g95 -c hello.f90
i just get
g95: hello.f90: No such file or directory
g95: no input files
and I tried changing directories without any results, of course i don't know exactly which directories would be most helpful.
Not strictly related to the forum topic but closely related to the reason why I posted this thread which is hopefully otherwise correctly categorized:
Any good online fortran (g95) tutorials to recommend for someone who's never programmed anything other than HTML and MatLAb and not even much of either of those?
Thanks a lot, it's looking like a tall mountain to climb from down here.
Cheers
