Unfortunately, the Fortran 90 compiler that resides on the Sun computers in the leland system is unreliable. However, there is no alternative at this time. If you think you're program should compile but it won't, then it might not be your fault. See the instructor if you think the compiler is misbehaving.
In virtually the same manner in which we compiled our Fortran 77 routines, we can process our Fortran 90 programs. To compile and link a Fortran 90 source code with the name main.f90, simply type
f90 main.f90
This will create an executable file called a.out.
Fortran 90 programs which make use of the free format form (to be explained in the next section) must have an extension .f90.
Just as with the Fortran 77 compiler, we are able to specify the name of our executable file with the Fortran90 compiler by specifying the -o option:
f90 main.f90 -o main.out
This will create an executable file called main.out.
Similarly, we can link to a Fortran 90 compiled library (such as the BLAS/LAPACK library in the class account) by
f90 main.f90 -L/usr/class/me390/lib -lmy_lib90
This will link your program main.f90 to the compiled library called libmy_lib90.a which resides on the class account in the directory /usr/class/me390/lib. You may copy this library file to your own account if you wish. However, the file is rather large and may cause you to exceed your disk quota on the leland system. A better approach would be to simply compile your programs requiring the BLAS/LAPACK library using the command given above.
Note: the library libmy_lib90.a MUST have been created using the Fortran 90 compiler. Attempts to link a Fortran 90 program to a Fortran 77 library will fail.
