on the path I have add that suggested and now for Simply fortran I have the folowing path

C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\bin
C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib32
C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib64
C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.8.2

I don't have GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable.

in the variable I don't have see any other reference to Simply fortran it's ok ?

So you did add the following to your path as well:

C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\libexec\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.8.2

Does the problem still continue to exist?

The problem seems (to me) to be the compiler options that are being used:

RCFLAGS=-O coff -F pe-i386

(See the Makefile posted above)

If the OP deletes these options from the Compiler Flags under (Options, Compiler ...) it should work,

David, these options are provided to the resource compiler, windres.exe, when it is needed.  Normally in Simply Fortran it is used solely for adding an icon.  The flags instruct the resource compiler to output a COFF object compatible with the PE 32-bit format.  You'll notice that, because the resource compiler is never used in the makefile, these flags are also never used or mentioned, only declared.  Simply Fortran always outputs these flags; they are not entered by the user.

I'm a little confused as to why you're suggesting deleting the flags will correct the problem on Vista.  Could you provide any more information?

Certainly, when I use these options, I get a similar error as the OP (I'm using VISTA 32 bit too.)

I am not sure what these options are supposed to do. Right now I don't have time to check.

David.

The issue you're seeing is that gfortran.exe can't find one of its child programs it needs.  I had first hoped that something may have gone wrong during installation. Similar issues can also occur if you have other versions of GNU Fortran installed.

Try adding the above to your path, and let us know if you have better luck.

There are same setup Simply Fortran must do on windows ( path or other ) ? I can check?

C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\libexec\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\4.8.2

You should see a number of files:

• cc1.exe

• cc1plus.exe

• collect2.exe

• f951.exe

• liblto_plugin.a

• liblto_plugin.la

• lto1.exe

• lto-wrapper.exe

I suspect one of these files is missing, which would cause the error you're seeing.  Do you have a virus scanner installed?  Did it report anything while installing Simply Fortran?

If you navigate to C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\ with Windows Explorer, you should see a number of directories. Two of them should be mingw and x86_64-w64-mingw32.  Do both exist?  If you enter either directory, do they also exist?

One thing you could provide is a Makefile so I can check if anything odd is occurring.  Could you post the contents here?  You can view it by selecting "View Makefile" from the Project menu.

Sorry for all this trouble.  I'm not sure why you're seeing the issue.  You might consider a simple reinstallation to see if that fixes the issue.

My system is vista 32bit.
the compiler is in the directory you mention but the error is always the same.
I don't if the follow note is related but
When I browse to search the compiler the browse start from where I save the project

C:\Program Files\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\bin\gfortran.exe

and on 64-bit systems:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran 2\mingw-w64\bin\gfortran.exe

If that seems correct, go ahead and click "Browse" next to the Fortran compiler path and navigate to that directory.  Does the compiler exist at that location?

I'm guessing there may have been an issue during installation.  If the compilers aren't present, I would suggest reinstalling Simply Fortran.  If they are present, let me know as there may have been another issue during installation.
