Fortran

[feenberg]

At the website is a heading "Platform Agnostic C / C++ / FORTRAN Tooling". So after confirming that my hello.c worked, I tried hello.f, because I have a Fortran program I distribute to users and it would be easier not to have ask what kind of computer they have. However the Fortran version didn't work. Instead I got messages about these 6 missing routines:

_gfortran_st_write
_gfortran_transfer_character_write
_gfortran_st_write_done
_gfortran_stop_string
_gfortran_set_args
_gfortran_set_options

The Fortan source for hello.f was just:

write(,) 'Hello,world'
stop
end

The command line was exactly the same as in the web example, except that hello.c is hello.f. I did try adding /usr/local/lib/gcc11/libgfortran.a before and after cosmopolitan.a. I just got a much longer list of unresolved routines. Also changed gcc to gfortran, but no change.

Can APE be used with Fortran? If so, how? Would a new cosmopolitan.a be needed, or is just a matter of getting the linking correct?

(Note added in edit: it looks like asterisks in my write statement don't get into the message as presented. I don't know why).
