Need a fortran compiler

nherscovici — Thu, 05 May 2011 13:04:01 GMT

Hello,

I would like to purchase an Intel Fortran Compiler with an IDE/debugger.
Something similar to the old 32 bit Compaq Visual Fortran which does not work on the 64 bit machine.
I am an antenna engineer and I do scientific programmmiing (no computer science programming).
If possible it should be able to deal with Fortran77 to the latest Fortran version. I have some old codes done in F77 that I need to modify and use them.

I will use it on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine and on a 64 bit XP pro machine.

I do have Visual Studio 2005, however it would be better if I will not need to use it. If the Intel product had a debugger, I would purchase that.

I am a bit confused about the product list I see on this website and I cannot figure it out what product to download for test.

Please advise

Thank you

Tuli

Hi Tuli-

You can try out the Intel Visual Fortran compiler (included in Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 for Windows) free for 90 days by going to our evaluation website...

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-visual-fortran-composer-xe-evaluation/

There you will get access to the IA-32 (32 bit) and Intel 64 (64 bit) compilers which support Windows 7, XP, and Vista, and Visual Studio 2005, 2008, and 2010.

I got there and there were a few choices. Should I choose

Intel Visual Fortran for x86-64bit development (for customers who have Microsoft Visual Studio* already installed) (344 MB)?

Thanks

This one would work with Visual Studio 2005 (standard or professional), if you've already been through the complications of adding SP1 and the Vista/Win7 patch from Microsoft. You also need the C++/X64 optional installation components of Visual Studio. Visual Studio Express doesn't permit GUI usage with compilers other than its own C/C++, nor does it support 64-bit compilation.
If you want to avoid that Visual Studio, and don't need C or C++, the Visual Studio 2008 shell which comes with the purchased version (but not the evaluation), should fill your requirement.
Debugger is provided by Visual Studio, you don't need a separate purchase.

is there a sales support phone number I could call and discuss? This message mechanism of Q&A does not work for me.

I still do not have a definite answer (after 24h) on what I need and CAN evaluate.

Thanks
