Fortran Programming Language :: GUI interface for fortran 77 under linux (using gfortran so fortran 95 is a possiblity)


	GUI interface for fortran 77 under linux (using gfortran so fortran 95 is a possiblity) Hi there people, I am a longtime fortran programmer and wish to add a GUI to the software I make. Question is : how ? What do I use for that? To be accurate I develop in 77 under linux but the compiler being gfortran which is a 77-compatible '95' compiler I can implement a 95-based GUI (if such a thing is possible). But sticking to 77 only would be better. Also, I DO wish to stay away from Windows, commercial apps are a possibility but only a last resort : I prefer using what's under linux's hood. Cheers for any help, thanks! G On May 9, 3:08 pm, me <a@b.com> wrote: > Hi there people, > I am a longtime fortran programmer and wish to add a GUI to the software > I make. > Question is : how ? What do I use for that? Do you know any scripting languages? This can be done in Python (Google "python gui fortran") and Tcl http://ftcl.sourceforge.net/ and other languages.

See also the discussion at http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.fortran/browse_frm/thread/8e... FWIW, I vote for a web-based GUI.

If you still stick on 77 have a look at www.japi.de. It works with FORTRAN 77, is easy to use, pretty well documented but development stopped 2003. You can use the binary g77-distribution with g77 and gfortran and some other compilers (e.g. g95, ifort) and with many platforms (But I would recommend the F-distribution for Fortran 9x compilers) Regards, Hani Do you need to run the GUI from within the fortran code? If not, check out easygui if you are happy with some python programming. Very limited but very easy! Dave
