A novice really trying to run MinGW to compile FORTRAN 77

[Paul Richard Thomas]

Hi Frank and Tim,

I am sorry to be pedantic, but this mailing list is devoted to the
development of the gfortran compiler. For this kind of query you would
do much better to go to one of the fortran forums, such as
comp.lang.fortran. You will find many more people there who use MinGW.
Most of the gfortraners use Linux exclusively in one form or another.

That said, Tim is right. You should check for the presence of your
source file when you are in the working directory, using dir. Check
also that you are using the right case for the program name. Windows
is not usually case sensitive but MinGW and Linices are.

Cheers

Paul
