GNU Info (g77-295.info)Getting StartedGetting Started *************** If you don't need help getting started reading the portions of this manual that are most important to you, you should skip this portion of the manual. If you are new to compilers, especially Fortran compilers, or new to how compilers are structured under UNIX and UNIX-like systems, you'll want to see Note: What is GNU Fortran?. If you are new to GNU compilers, or have used only one GNU compiler in the past and not had to delve into how it lets you manage various versions and configurations of `gcc', you should see Note: G77 and GCC. Everyone except experienced `g77' users should see Note: Invoking G77. If you're acquainted with previous versions of `g77', you should see Note: News About GNU Fortran. Further, if you've actually used previous versions of `g77', especially if you've written or modified Fortran code to be compiled by previous versions of `g77', you should see Note: Changes. If you intend to write or otherwise compile code that is not already strictly conforming ANSI FORTRAN 77--and this is probably everyone--you should see Note: Language. If you don't already have `g77' installed on your system, you must see Note: Installation. If you run into trouble getting Fortran code to compile, link, run, or work properly, you might find answers if you see Note: Debugging and Interfacing, see Note: Collected Fortran Wisdom, and see Note: Trouble. You might also find that the problems you are encountering are bugs in `g77'--see Note: Bugs, for information on reporting them, after reading the other material. If you need further help with `g77', or with freely redistributable software in general, see Note: Service. If you would like to help the `g77' project, see Note: Funding GNU Fortran, for information on helping financially, and see Note: Projects, for information on helping in other ways. If you're generally curious about the future of `g77', see Note: Projects. If you're curious about its past, see Note: Contributors, and see Note: Funding GNU Fortran. To see a few of the questions maintainers of `g77' have, and that you might be able to answer, see Note: Open Questions. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
