The gfortran commands for compiling and building are the same as discussed in "Hello!", the previous post below. For example, to test if our gfortran installation was successful, enter the following on the command line:
#Install gfortran windows
The Windows command line operates much in the same way the Terminal does on Mac/Linux. To test if the installation was successful, open a command window (Start Menu->Run), enter cmd (see below), and press OK to launch the command line window (equivalent of Terminal on Mac/Linux). The default wizard options add the necessary directories to the path.
