Fortran

I’m curious about Fortran support in QNX RTP. I’ve read several places
that there isnt any support for Fortran in QNX but it is my impression that
ability to compile it is a standard feature of gcc. Has this feature been
deliberately turned off for some reason? Is it possible to recompile gcc
with it turned on? Jim n5x@psu.edu

I’m guessing that Fortran would require fortran libraries, which don’t
exist, yet.

QSSL con confirm this.

I don’t think Fortran is part of gcc. (Just as gcc doesn’t compile
C++ – that requires g++.) I do think that as part of the GNU tool
chain there is probably a Fortran compiler – but I don’t think anyone
has ported it, or the corresponding libraries, to QNX 6.

Yes, Fortan is part of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). However we don’t support
it, and I don’t know if it compiles. You can get the ported gcc source at
http://staff.qnx.com/~cburgess/gnu if you want to try…
