Hi,
I recently downloaded the gfortran compiler for my new
ibook with OSX 10.3.5
I tried compiling a simple fortran program named hello.f90
The command I issued was:
gfortran -o a.out hello.f90
The error I get is:
Claws-Computer:~/test/practice Claw$ gfortran -o a.out
hello.f90
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lcrt1.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
This is linker error. You need to make sure that libctrl.o is in your path.
A simple solution is to use the -static option and see if it works.
gfortran -static hello.f90 -o a.out
When I compile using the -c flag to produce an object file,
it works. Then when I try to make the executable the same
error happens.
-c option just compiles it to object file. Where as producing executable
involves linking the object files.
Im pretty new at fortran and Mac, and could really use a
suggestion.
In the future, you might get a better/quicker help if you post questions
related to gfortran on their mailing list fortran@xxxxxxxxxxx (google
for instructions on how to subscribe to it) instead of gcc-help.
