How to install Code::Blocks for Fortran on Linux

(1/1)

dcarrera:
Hello,

Someone recommended that I try "Code::Blocks for Fortran" for my Fortran work:

http://cbfortran.sourceforge.net/

This page says:


--- Quote ---Note: FortranProject plugin, which makes C::B useful for Fortran, currently is included in an official Code::Blocks distribution for Windows (but not for Linux).
--- End quote ---

So I take it to mean that if I install Code::Blocks on Linux I have to install something else too. So I went ahead and installed Code::Blocks on my Ubuntu computer from the PPA as indicated in the download page... Now what do I do?

The default Code::Blocks install at least has syntax highlighting and code-folding for Fortran. I don't know exactly what it's missing because I haven't used this thing before. But my reading of the web page is that I'm supposed to do something else. I just can't figure out what.

Cheers,
Daniel.

probably you need to install a compiler, but without error message or other useful information we can't help you...

See if these directions help; I have never used the Fortran Plugin on Linux.
