It's not quite clear what you are expecting.
There's a Fortran77 compiler frontend included in the Cygwin gcc
distribution. You have found the command.
The following suggestions assume that you have started a bash shell. If you
have installed Cygwin using the SETUP program, you should have a Cygwin icon
on your desktop. Click this icon to open a bash shell.
For documentation:
man g77
or
info g77
The g77.info may not be properly installed. If the last commands just
complains that g77 is not found:
cd /usr/info
install-info g77.info dir
There's no IDE (integrated development environment) included with Cygwin
(except the debugger, gdb). I believe some exist, but can't recommend any.
There's a GCC IDE at http://www.bloodshed.net/download.html, but I'm not
sure it is any good for Fortran.
You can also compile Fortran programs from within emacs.
Kind regards
Peter Ring

Subject: I need help on how to use the Cygwin fortran compiler. Thanks,
Dr. McNeill
Dear Cygwin:
Recently I purchased a HP Pavilion 750n PC, which has Windows XP, to
perform numerical calculations at home relative to my theoretical research
in physical chemistry. I thought about purchasing a FORTRAN compiler but a
friend of mine suggested that instead I download Cygwin and use the
available FORTRAN compiler in this package of free-ware. Well I did that
last night, and from reading his E-mail instructions I was to download the
g77 FORTRAN compiler. However, it did not work on my new PC at home. Yet,
I only could access the g77 FORTRAN compiler in DOS via Command statement
on RUN. If there is instead a FORTRAN compiler already with the Cygwin and
I was not suppose to use g77 please let me know ,and please inform me on
how to access this Cygwin FORTRAN compiler if it exists. I tried searching
for any FORTRAN compiler that came with Cygwin but I could not find any
statement on how to utilize it on the web site. Your assistance will be
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. James H. McNeill
