NAGWare f95 Compiler Release 4.2
NPW3242NA
for Microsoft Windows
This is the README file for the NAGWare f95 Compiler Release 4.2 for
Microsoft Windows using Cygwin gcc.
1. Installation
This software is usually supplied on a CD which should autorun and
present you with the options to install the software, generate a
licence request or install a licence key. Should the CD not
autorun, or if you have downloaded the implementation from the NAG
web site, please run setup.exe from the root directory of
the CD or download. You may need to be Administrator to install
this software and the licence. Further technical information about
this and other f95 implementations is provided in the file
TECHINFO.
The installation may be tested by compiling and running the utility program
f90_util.f90, which is provided in the same directory as the compiler
library files. To compile and link this program, copy the source file to
your working directory and type
f95 -o f90_util f90_util.f90
(This assumes that the compiler binary has been installed in a directory
included in your PATH environment variable.) The program (f90_util.exe) may now
be run.
2. Licensing
NAGWare f95 is a licence-managed product. During the installation
process a program to help you to request a licence key and
subsequently to install the key is run. After installation a
stand-alone version of this program may be found in the Compiler
bin directory and is called licence.exe.
The use of all supplied software must be in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the Software Licence signed by NAG and each site. Any request
to use NAG software on a computer other than the one licensed must be
referred to NAG.
3. Cygwin gcc
This implementation of NAGWare f95 requires Cygwin gcc and is only
suitable for use with Cygwin gcc. Please download Cygwin gcc
version 3.2-3 or 3.3.1-3 (or later) from the URL below. As Cygwin
software is completely out of NAG's control, please refer to the
documentation on the Cygwin web site for help in downloading and
installing Cygwin.
Cygwin URL: http://www.cygwin.com/
The folder containing Cygwin gcc must appear on your PATH
environment variable.
The only part of the Cygwin environment used by NAGWare f95 is the
gcc compiler. It is not necessary to run NAGWare f95 from within
the Cygwin environment. NAGWare f95 will run from a DOS command
window.
4. Documentation
HTML documentation is installed to the "html" folder in the NAGWare
installation directory, the file "Index.html" has links to all the documentation.
The same material may be found in Windows HTML help format in the "help" folder.
5. NAG Fortran Library DLLs
This implementation of the NAGWare f95 Compiler is compatible with the
NAG Fortran Library DLL Implementation (NAG Product Code FLDLL204Z) provided
the "-f77" compiler option is specified. Assuming the f95 command is on your
Cygwin PATH and the NAG Library is installed to the default location, the
following Bourne Shell script may be used to simplify linking to the NAG Library.
#!/bin/sh
f95 -f77 "$@" \
"c:/Program Files/Numerical Algorithms Group/FLDLL204Z/dll20dd.lib" \
"c:/Program Files/Numerical Algorithms Group/FLDLL204Z/dll20dds.lib"
Call this script, for example, "f95lib" and put it in a directory on your
Cygwin PATH. You can then compile and link to the NAG Library using a
command like:
f95lib d01ajce.f
or, specifying options, thus:
f95lib -g -w=obs d01ajce.f
Note: the directory containing the DLLs must be in your PATH when you run the
executable.
6. Release Notes
Brief notes on the differences between NAGWare f95 4.1 and NAGWare f95 4.2

file RELNOTES.html, and also provided in printed form.
