Getting Started with Standard Make

To get started, try this.  If you're under Windows, you need to be running Cygwin, c:\cygwin\bin and c:\cygwin\usr\bin should be in your system path, and the g95 libraries need to be copied into /usr/lib (to make things easier for yourself, at least).

1. File | New | Fortran Project
2. Call it whatever
3. Choose Makefile Project from the project type list (it has a folder icon; do not expand it)
4. Choose "-- Other Toolchain --" from the toolchain list <--li>Click Next
5. Click on Advanced Settings
6. Expand C/C++ Build in the list on the left, and click on Settings
7. Click on the Binary Parsers tab.  Check the appropriate parsers for your platform. If you are using Windows, check PE Windows Parser and/or Cygwin PE Parser; if you are using Linux, check Elf Parser; if you are using Mac, check Mach-O parser.
8. Click on the Error Parsers tab. Check the error parser(s) for the Fortran compiler(s) you will use.
9. Click OK
10. Click Finish
11. File | New | File
12. Call it Makefile
13. Click Finish
14. We assume you're familiar with how to format a Makefile.  Something like this will work for now.  Remember to start the g95 line with a tab, not spaces.  The -g switch instructs g95 to include debugging symbols in the generated executable so that it can be debugged later.
    
    all:
        g95 -g hello.f90
    
    clean:
    
    
15. File | New | Source File
16. Call it hello.f90
17. Click Finish
18. Type the standard "Hello, World" program.
    
    program hello
        print *, "Hello World"
        stop
    end program hello
    
19. Project | Clean; then click OK
20. Open the Console view, and make sure "make" ran OK and compiled your program
21. In the Fortran Projects view, expand the Binaries entry, and click on your executable (e.g., "whatever - [x86le]")
22. Run | Run As | Run Local C/C++ Application (yeah, I know, it should say "Fortran Application", but it doesn't)
23. Choose GDB Debugger (Cygwin GDB Debugger if you're under Windows)
24. Check the Console view, and make sure Hello World appeared.
