Photran with which Fortran Compiler?

Hi,
I try to get rid of the Visual Studio integration of IVF by trying to get some Fortran compiler work within Photran. Any hints, guides etc.? So far I see that it is required to have some Visual Studio SDK installed for the use and install of IVF. What can I do if I do not have it installed? Which Fortran compiler can I take and integrate into Photran?

TIA,
Harald

I haven't heard of anyone pursuing the combination of Photran with ifort for Windows. According to my reading, the Photran FAQ suggests a cygwin installation, or at least an installation of make and a command line compiler.
I think earlier references to Photran on this forum had linux in mind. Intel C++ for linux comes with an Eclipse GUI for a limited selection of 32-bit linux distributions.
As you read, the 32-bit ifort Windows supported installation requires Visual Studio SDK, to provide the libraries, linker, etc, even to run in command line mode. If you search this forum, you could read about the unsupported alternative use of C++ 2003 Toolkit, to obtain partial functioning of ifort. Considering the investment of effort you are likely to make, you might still consider the VS Standard, even though you use it only to obtain a command line installation of ifort to work with Photran.
For the present, ifort for EM64T, installed with Microsoft Platform SDK, is a command line compiler which might qualify for Photran. It can be run with gnu make, for example, with a cygwin, or mingw tools installation. cygwin runs OK as a command line development environment on Windows x64, although its own gnu compilers are 32-bit only.

Hi Tim,
so there is no chance to have some Intel Fortran compiler or highly similar compiler working with Photran?

I have not tried Photran yet on Windows. Theoretically, assuming you have the necessary bits to allow for command-line compiling, it should work. See here for a way to get at least some command line functionality without installing the retail MSVC product.

We do have our Eclipse engineers cooperating with the Photran project. What will come of this, I don't know.
