fort77 Command

The fort77 command in Linux is a FORTRAN 77 compiler, which is a tool used to compile and link FORTRAN 77 code into a executable program. Here are some examples of how fort77 might be used:

Compile a FORTRAN 77 source file, “program.f” into an object file “program.o”:

fort77 -c program.f

Compile and link a FORTRAN 77 source file, “program.f” into an executable file “program”:

fort77 program.f -o program

Compile a FORTRAN 77 source file, “program.f” and specify include paths, for example, to include “-I/path/to/headers”:

fort77 -I/path/to/headers -c program.f

Compile a FORTRAN 77 source file, “program.f” and specify Library paths, for example, to include “-L/path/to/libs”:

fort77 -L/path/to/libs program.f -o program

Compile a FORTRAN 77 source file, “program.f” with debugging symbols include and output to the program.dbg

fort77 -g program.f -o program.dbg

It’s worth noting that FORTRAN 77 is an old and dated language and newer version FORTRAN exists such as FORTRAN 90,95,2003,2008,2018 and so on. Also, fort77 command is part of the legacy UNIX system and may not be present in all the linux distributions, Some distribution may have g77 or gfortran as their fortran compilers.
