What is the reason that FTN95 is not available for Linux?

Have you tried running it under WINE to see if it works.

Yes I did. At the level of the text mode will not be a problem - but at the level of graphics so sure. I thought about a similar solution for other compilers, written separately for Win and Linux to use the full power of Linux.

I have heard that Simfit (which is integrated with ClearWin+) works well under WINE.

There are currently no plans to port FTN95 to Linux.

I understand. I tried to complie programs with OpenGL - no sucsses. But program *.exe compiled under WINDOWS work ! with WINE. It is all.

This thread is not to up to date. However, I have been thinking about this as well. The more I get involved in FEM programming the more I meet people who do the development under Linux and gfortran - the performance (speed) is really remarkable!

FTN95 on the other hand has excellent debugging and syntax checking. Therefore we will write code using gfortran. In the last stage I then compile it with FTN95!

Anyway, what actually happens (or what does it mean) when FTN95 is ported to Linux?

Thank you for your comment. Most of the things about which you write I am known. What's more I know I use the gfortran Fortran G95 + OpenGL under Linux and Windows. Also, I develop FEM and therefore need a unified computing environment and above all fast OpenGL graphics environment. One such candidate was to be FTN95 but it's not as easy as can be seen. I can only say that all the requirements of portability of code and graphics computing to meet the language today !!!!!!!! JAVA 3D and it works great - but I wanted to have it all in Fortran hence my questions.

It seems like we do sort of the same thing. In the meanswhile my code in Fortran from the mesher to the solution. For the graphical view/display of the results OpenGL is my next step. It would be interessting to know for which applications you develop your FEM. We work on rotating electrical machines.
