error compiling camfort about camfort

[acr31]

Hi,

Do you have the most recent version of language-fortran installed? You should compile this from source and install it. Here is the repo: https://github.com/dagit/language-fortran

Yours,

hi, thanks for the quick reply. The version I have installed is:
[miahw@bengal camfort]$ cabal info language-fortran

• language-fortran (library)
  Synopsis: Fortran lexer and parser, language support, and extensions.
  Versions available: 0.2.7
  Versions installed: 0.2.7

The version from Git is 0.2.0 which failed to install:

[miahw@bengal camfort]$ cabal install language-fortran/language-fortran.cabal

Is this how you install it? I am not familiar with Haskell at all.

Hi! Sorry for this. The actual version of language-fortran we are using is here:
https://github.com/dorchard/language-fortran

I have just pushed a new version to Haskell's package manager:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/language-fortran-0.3
But it might not be indexed by Cabal for another day. So you are better of probably cloning from here:
https://github.com/dorchard/language-fortran

Then doing:
cabal configure
cabal build
cabal install

Thanks for your help/patience :)

Hi dorchard,

Thanks for that! I've managed to get camfort built for Fedora 21. There were many missing steps, but I've got it to work now. Now it's time for me to use it for my Fortran codes!

Cheers again. You can close this ticket now.

[dorchard]

Thanks! No problem.
Please let us know if you encounter any problems. CamFort is very much in development, and we would greatly appreciate any feedback so we can improve things.
Btw, I just pushed a change which improves the command line interface (makes it easier to use) so you might want to update.

Best,
Dominic
