Thanks for your efforts! If asked, we may make what you've done so far available, in case it would assist another developer. > PS: > Is there a "cvs-tree" available for public to get/put the latest > development sources? There is now an svn tree: http://svn.unidata.ucar.edu/repos/netcdf/trunk/ Will that do? --Russ > On Wed, 2010-06-02 at 17:01 -0600, Unidata netCDF Support wrote: > > > Dear support, > > > > > > because being stupid, I've started to write the Fortran90 interface > > > declarations for the windows version (intel fortran 11.1 compiler). > > > There are still about 100 functions (out of about 300) to interface and > > > I'm wondering if it is worth the effort (because all the test stuff has > > > to be done as well) and ask therefore if someone else has finished this > > > awesome task already. > > > > No sorry, as far as we know, no one else has done this, except maybe the > > GLIMMER project, as described here: > > > > > > http://wiki.nesc.ac.uk/glimmer-project/glimmer-project8dc7.html?InstallWindows > > > > We usually recommend using cygwin and gfortran to get a Fortran-90 > > interface on Windows. > > > > > I started because after having spent some days in writing my file > > > specification in Fortran90 (Solaris mpif90) I was not very happy to > > > recognize that the windows version is still incomplete and I thought it > > > would be less effort (and perhaps useful to others) to write the > > > interfaces instead of reimplementing my stuff in Fortran77. > > > > > > As a starting point I've had a look at the hdf5 Fortran90 interface and > > > ended in code like this: > > > > > > INTEGER FUNCTION nf_inq_var(ncid, varid, name, externalType, > > > numDimensions, dimensionIDs, numAttributes) > > > integer, intent(in) :: ncid, varid > > > character (len = *), intent(out) :: name > > > integer, intent(out) :: externalType, numDimensions > > > integer, dimension(:), intent(out) :: dimensionIDs > > > integer, intent(out) :: numAttributes > > > !DEC$IF DEFINED(NETCDFF90_WINDOWS) > > > !DEC$ATTRIBUTES > > > C,reference,decorate,alias:'nc_inq_var'::nf_inq_var > > > !DEC$ENDIF > > > END FUNCTION nf_inq_var > > > > > > as a (copy/paste) replacement for (much simpler version - but not > > > compilable with intel fortran in windows): > > > integer, external :: nf_inq_var > > > > > > > > > At least it compiles - but I've no idea if it will pass the tests or if > > > there is some more to think of... > > > > > > > > > As far as I know "mod" files are compiler dependent and using cygwin and > > > gfortran/g95 is no solution if the linking app is compiled with wintel > > > fortran. > > > > Yes, you're right, the module files are compiler-dependent, which is a > > problem in making a generally useful F90 interface for Windows.
