Version 0 of Critcl goes Fortran

Updated 2003-03-05 07:31:16

Arjen Markus (5 march 2003) It has taken me some (calendar) time to get Critcl to understand Fortran, and have it work on various platforms, but it is (almost) ready.

The current state:

  • Critclf (as this version is called) is available for anybody who wants to have a look, it is documented, though some cleaning is necessary.
  • Support for other platforms than the original Linux/gcc platform is provided by using a package called buildtools - see Generic compiling and linking via build tools.
  • The advantage of this approach is that the Critcl package itself can be extended easily to support other platforms - by extending the "tool database" in buildtools.
  • The code is not yet ready for release in the sense that it does behave as a nice package yet (just scripts sourcing each other).
  • The data types for exchanging data between Tcl and Fortran are somewhat limited, especially where strings are concerned.
  • The version number is 0.20 (based on Critcl 0.32)

If you are interested, then just send me an email
