Fortran on OSX
What do I have to do, to be able to write, debug and compile FORTRAN code on OSX. In my course they use Force 2.0 on Windows.
Is there any working free alternative for the Mac? I've found some expensive ones: IBM XL and Absoft. The onlyone that seems to be free is g77 (it works with Xcode, doesn't it?), but I can't get fink to install it for me. Can someone give me a link to a ready-to-install package of g77.
Thank you

I got the open-source g95 to install OK, but couldn't get it to properly link the source I was trying to compile.
The trial version of IBM's XLF worked great, and integrates into Xcode, but it's only a trial. I think it's 90-day limited, so that might be fine for your course.
I've installed g77 from your link. Now, how do I tell Xcode to to use g77?
(I'm new to programming and especially Xcode)
thank you

I have no idea.
I actually haven't used Xcode too much. Most of my limited programming experience is with small programs that I compile and run from the command line. I can tell you that g77 was pretty simple to use from the command line.
