In case you would like to use fortran (STL does not provide that, so you could not build LPACK f.e.), there is another distro, provided by a company called equation.com (which does include gfortran). Several releases are available and equation.com also provide weekly snapshot builds of GCC. Both 32 and 64 bit builds are ready for download. I have test-driven this one as well, just for your info.

I quote: "This web page provides Fortran, C and C++ for Windows for download. Equation Solution build the compilers from GCC. gFortran, gcc and g++ are high performance compilers, and absolutely free under General Public License. Binaries distributed at this site are a variant of GCC. Distributions of Equation Solution have indepentent settings. The major change is the library to support parallel processing has been replaced."

The equation-distro can be found here: http://www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran

Hi all,

 

after having switched from OSX and Linux to Windows 10 I have issues compiling boost (1.61)with the MinGW compiler.

 

The very first step fails:

 

bootstrap.bat mingw

 

results in not finding a right path, denying access and aborting the installation.

 

So far I only found this article:

 

https://andres.jaimes.net/698/use-c-with-mingw-and-netbeans-in-windows/

 

but it does not contain further info how (and where) to add additional info (I added c:\MinGW\bin to my PATH but it didn’t help).

 

Any help appreciated,

thanks in advance

 

Alex
