Running a Fortran code on Windows 8 using Emacs 1

[Matseli]

Guys, I am very new to Fortran and Emacs editor. So I have a source code with a .FOR extension and would like to compile on emacs. I am using 64-bit machine running a windows 8 OS. Under tools there's compile but I can figure out what else to do. What are the exact steps in compiling a Fortran code on Emacs? I

Which fortran compiler have you installed?

Also, is this XEmacs, microemacs or just standard emacs. You could use it as an editor but I've only seen it being used as an IDE with XEmacs and C++. Are you intending to use this as an IDE?

 

[Matseli]

I am intending to use it as an IDE and I am using GNU EMACS version 24.3.1. I have a g95 compiler installed.

Sorry for the mistake, but I am using Emacs as an editor not IDE

I'm doing it very simple:
editing the source in one window (editor) and compile & run it in second windows (command prompt).
I'm using vim because emacs was complicated for me - but you can use emacs.

Search for some tutorials in google, how to configure Emacs with fortran.
I found this video how it could work when properly configured

Thank you guys, I managed to run it. After configuring gfortran compiler, I click compile on emacs and Make-x appears and i replaced that with the compilation code:
gfortran "program name".for -0 run"program name"
Where you type the corresponding program name in the "" and a relevant extension (.for, .f, .f90, .f95)

And wkat for Emacs are you using on Windows ?

I am using W8 64bit system as well as ubuntu 12.04 LTS within the same laptop.

You could also use geany. It is a lot faster than emacs and not so leaky. It also uses less resources.
