Compiling a DLL on mac

[DanSandbergUCONN]

Hi All - I know very very little fortran. I've been given source code for interfaces, modules, and functions and I would like to compile these into a dynamic library so I can call everything from another language. I'm working on a mac and would prefer not to have to switch platforms. Does anyone know how I can go about building the DLL? - Thanks, Dan

On the mac, a DLL (Microsoft term) is called a shared object (.so). You can get g95 or gfortran for the Mac. Look for the OSX versions.

For g95, have a look at

http://www.g95.org/g95_dll.html

gfortran uses gcc flags so you probably need to use -shared,Wl and compile with -fPIC.
