Before You Begin |
The Fortran Programming Guide gives essential information about the the Sun Studio Fortran 95 compiler f95. It describes Fortran 95 input/output, program development, libraries, program analysis and debugging, numerical accuracy, porting, performance, optimization, parallelization, and interoperability.
This guide is intended for scientists, engineers, and programmers who have a working knowledge of the Fortran language and wish to learn how to use the Fortran compiler effectively. Familiarity with the Solaris operating environment or UNIX® in general is also assumed.
See also the companion Fortran User's Guide for information about the environment and command-line options for the f95 compiler.
The "pipe" or "bar" symbol separates arguments, only one of which may be chosen. |

The colon, like the comma, is sometimes used to separate arguments. |

The compilers and tools and their man pages are not installed into the standard /usr/bin/ and /usr/share/man directories. To access the compilers and tools, you must have your PATH environment variable set correctly (see Accessing the Compilers and Tools). To access the man pages, you must have the your MANPATH environment variable set correctly (see Accessing the Man Pages.).
For more information about the PATH variable, see the csh(1), sh(1), and ksh(1) man pages. For more information about the MANPATH variable, see the man(1) man page. For more information about setting your PATH variable and MANPATH variables to access this release, see the installation guide or your system administrator.
Use the steps below to determine whether you need to change your PATH variable to access the compilers and tools.
To Determine Whether You Need to Set Your PATH Environment Variable |
1. Display the current value of the PATH variable by typing the following at a command prompt.
2. Review the output to find a string of paths that contain /opt/SUNWspro/bin/.
If you find the path, your PATH variable is already set to access the compilers and tools. If you do not find the path, set your PATH environment variable by following the instructions in the next procedure.
To Set Your PATH Environment Variable to Enable Access to the Compilers and Tools |
1. If you are using the C shell, edit your home .cshrc file. If you are using the Bourne shell or Korn shell, edit your home .profile file.
2. Add the following to your PATH environment variable. If you have Sun ONE Studio software or Forte Developer software installed, add the following path before the paths to those installations.
Use the following steps to determine whether you need to change your MANPATH variable to access the man pages.
To Determine Whether You Need to Set Your MANPATH Environment Variable |
1. Request the dbx man page by typing the following at a command prompt.
If the dbx(1) man page cannot be found or if the man page displayed is not for the current version of the software installed, follow the instructions in the next procedure for setting your MANPATH environment variable.
To Set Your MANPATH Environment Variable to Enable Access to the Man Pages |
1. If you are using the C shell, edit your home .cshrc file. If you are using the Bourne shell or Korn shell, edit your home .profile file.
2. Add the following to your MANPATH environment variable.
The Sun Studio 8 integrated development environment (IDE) provides modules for creating, editing, building, debugging, and analyzing the performance of a C, C++, or Fortran application.
The IDE requires the Core Platform component of Sun Studio 8. You must set the SPRO_NETBEANS_HOME environment variable to the location where the Core Platform component is installed or mounted (installation_directory/netbeans/3.5R) if the Core Platform component is not installed or mounted to one of the following locations:
The command to start the IDE is sunstudio. For details on this command, see the sunstudio(1) man page.
