Compiling DISLIN gfortran - fortran

I am having trouble compiling Fortran code with references to DISLIN. I have downloaded DISLIN from the website, unzipped the file and ran the setup. I have added an environment variable called DISLIN (C:\dislin) and added C:\dislin\win to the PATH section of my system variables.
I am trying to compile some example code of the DISLIN website which includes line
USE DISLIN
I am using a MinGW shell to compile with command gfortran -o progrname -ldislin EX11_1.f90 and am getting the following error:
Fatal Error: Cant open module file 'dislin.mod' for reading at (1): No such file or directory.
I have tried changing the variable path and even moving the dislin.mod file (which is there) but still get the same message.

Ok I fixed this problem so thought I come back and post what worked for me incase any one else needs it...
Install both DISLIN and MinGW on the c drive
Copy disgf.a from /c/dislin and dislin.f90 from /c/dislin/gf into the directory containing your fortran files
(for me this is /c/MinGW/pnote)
Using the MinGW shell navigate to you files: cd /c/MinGW/pnote
compile dislin.f90 and your fortran program: gfortran -c dislin.f90 progName.f90 (dislin.f90 obviously only needs to be done once)
link libraries etc and compile: gfortran progName.o disgf.a -luser32 -lgdi32 -lopengl32 -o exeName
'run' exeName

You probably need to specify the path to the DISLIN module files:
gfortran EX11_1.f90 -o progrname -ldislin -I/path/to/DISLIN/modules
and, if not already configured like described here, also the path to the library itself:
gfortran EX11_1.f90 -o progrname -ldislin -I/path/to/DISLIN/modules \
-L/path/to/DISLIN/library

They provide a batch file (windows) to do the compiling and linking for you.
f90link -c My_Program
This is located in c:\dislin\Win
Also, if you are having trouble with the dislin.mod file which resides in c:\dislin\gf then recompile that with the -c compile option. I found all of this info in c:\dislin\readme.inf

near as I can tell (Jan 2018) dislin (64 bit) fails miserably with gfortran 7.2, period; and probably with many other newer compilers.
When trying to link, gfortran 7 says 'dislin.mod' is an unrecognizable format.
I think this program is highly dependent on exactly correct version synchronization - something that renders such software useless imho after many years in research.
and no, the correctness of various 'paths' seems not to help.
after all, gnuplot works, "at all". Not sure why I spent so much time on brand x.

error when trying to compile with MinGW: cannot execute cc1plus

I did a clean install of MinGW on Windows 7 32bit with the GUI Installer, and installed
ming32-base-bin
mingw32-gcc-g++-bin
msys-base-bin
When trying to compile a simple "Hello World.cpp" from the cmd.exe i get the error:
C:\Users\Lorenzo\Desktop>g++ "Hello World.cpp" -o"Hello World.exe" -m32
g++: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1plus': CreateProcess: No such file or directory.
compilation terminated.
The weird thing is that by grabbing the file from the desktop and putting it over g++.exe (so that i open the file with the application) in the MinGW directory, i don't get any error.
A temporary fix i found was to have a new environmet variable pointing in the folder where cc1plus is (C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\9.2.0). The program runs but doesn't include the libraries from C:/MinGw/lib and C:/MinGw/Include, i have to include those manually, which shouldn't occur (i guess).
I don't want to do this crude fix since i know i'll encounter some other problems with time.
Ok. I found the solution with some luck.
It is as simple as adding .exe to g++
> g++.exe *input file* -o*output.exe*
Don't Know if it's a bug or not, but this works for me.
I'm not sure which MinGW you used exactly, but it's better to use MinGW-w64.
There is a standalone build you can get from http://winlibs.com/ that doesn't require installation. The site also gives some instructions on how to use it.

G++ Compiler warning when using c++ 17 updates

I'm running g++ compiler on windows 10 with mingw.
On checking compiler version in cmd I get the following:
g++ --version- g++ (MinGW.org GCC Build-2) 9.2.0
same with c++ --version
When I compiled a cpp program making use of structured bindings I got a warning:
warning: structured bindings only available with '-std=c++17' or '-std=gnu++17'
But otherwise the code ran fine.
Does everyone get this warning or am I running a lower version compiler?
I'm using an extension - Competitive programming helper, and this warning interrupts the process.
Hence, if it is the case that everyone gets this warning, is there a way I can block version specific warnings only without having to block all compiler warnings.
TIA.
As the warning itself says:
structured bindings only available with '-std=c++17' or '-std=gnu++17'.
Meaning, you are using cpp version 14 or lower as compiler. However, you also have cpp 17 or higher installed on your system to get such kind of warning.
Your program will still run but with the warning.
For Windows:
If you are using VS code (assuming that you are already using code runner) then,
Open Settings(UI) of VS code (Ctrl + ,)
Search for Code-runner: Executor Map
Click on Edit in settings.json
Something like this will appear:
In cpp section: change it to "cd $dir && g++ -std=c++17 $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt" as in the picture above.
It is finally done now.
Below steps are for linux.
Open .bashrc file using command sudo gedit ~/.bashrc in terminal.
In the .bashrc file, add alias g++="g++ --std=c++2a" at the end of the file.
This will always compile your file in cpp+20 version.
Once done, you will not get any warning.
Note:
It is not mandatory to use cpp+20. You can use any version you like.
Change the version according to this website

MinGW gcc C compiler works, but g++ does not

I'm a noob, I admit it. Regardless, I've had a really annoying problem with MinGW.... I can write AND compile programs in C with no problem whatsoever, but recently I've tried to install Cmake, but I can't because it fails every time it tests the C++ compiler (g++). So that lead me to just write a simple "hello world" program in C++ and try to compile it. No dice. Again and again I get no response whatsoever. On the command line, I'm typing
g++ -o hello++.cpp hello++
but have also tried
g++ -o hello++.cxx hello++
g++ -o hello++.cc hello++
g++ -o hello++ hello++.cpp
(Of course I saved copies of the source code in the same directory with the .cxx and .cc extensions respectively)
and a bunch of other combinations thereof. Everytime I get nothing. No warning. No error. Nothing. No .exe file was created in the directory, and typing "hello++" on the command line afterwards just gives me a "command not found" error. Soooo.... what the hell is going on? Why does the gcc command work but the g++ not?
I'm on windows 8, using cygwin.
The last one should have succeeded; you won't get a message saying it's succeeded, but you should see the executable in the current directory. The others all try to take the executable as input and output the source, which won't work; although I'm surprised you don't get error messages.
If it did succeed, then simply typing hello++ is unlikely to run it since the current directory is typically not on the path. Try ./hello++ instead.
If it didn't succeed, then it's possible that g++ isn't installed properly. I'm afraid I've no idea how to fix a broken Cygwin installation. Perhaps which g++, to see which program is actually being run, might give some clues.

why am i seeing this libzdb configure error?

I am attempting to install libzdb on my macbook however I see the following error message when running the configure:
configure:13334: error: setjmp is required
the setjmp.h file resides within /usr/include and is specified within my "$PATH" as
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/include
Can someone please advise as to how i can rectify this issue?
thanks in advance
I've stumbled across this error while building one of my own programs when I wanted to use setjmp() and longjmp(). For some reason, the toolchain that resides in / on OS X is flawed, and the <setjmp.h> header file is missing the declarations and data types.
To fix it, I had to download Xcode (damn!) and tell the compiler to look for the headers in the freshly installed MacOSX10.7.sdk (or 8) folder:
clang -Wall -o foo foo.c -isysroot /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk
ok finally figured it out. For those who have seen messages like this be warned that the configure logs can be misleading. It turned out the binary built fine, however it was failing during runtime because a few mysql libraries could not be found. using the following command *export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mysql/lib/* would fix the problem

Issues compiling vmware web api client code into useable objects

I'm using vmware's web application api in an attempt just to simply retrieve the fields in the "ServiceContent" object. There is an example of how this should be accomplished located at the vmware forum. The example contained there compiles fine for me however I get segfaults when running the simple example - specifically the trace goes back to the soap_serializeheader() function (I believe these are defined in stdsoap2.cpp). My problem is that I do not know how to avoid this segfault and have no idea why this is occurring (as I am following the example almost word for word). I am using OS X tool chain (gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465) ) combined with (gsoap release 2.7.16). I tried gsoap 2.8 but got the same result. Below is the procedure I used to get to where I am now.
These are the commands I used to parse the wsdl:
wsdl2h -o vim25.h vimService.wsdl
Once this is parsed, I compiled using the following command:
soapcpp2 -x -C -pvsp vim25.h -I/place/where/stlvector.h/is
this generates files vspC.cpp, vspClient.cpp, and vspVimBindingProxy.cpp. Internally these files have the same prefixes for functions (i.e. ns1/ns2 etc) so my calls are the same as those in the example.
This is the command I am using to compile vspC.cpp and vspClient.cpp:
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL -c vspC.cpp
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL -c vspClient.cpp
This is the command I use to compile stdsoap2.cpp (if I do not compile with -DWITH_NONAMESPACES I get an error about an undefined symbol "_namepspaces" when I link everything):
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL -DWITH_NONAMESPACES -c stdsoap2.cpp
I then link everything together with the test code (again this is copied almost identically from the example, just with the changes to correctly refer to the files I created):
g++ -DWITH_COOKIES -DWITH_OPENSSL vspC.o vcpClient.o stdsoap2.o testcase.cpp -lssl -lcrypto -o doesntwork
This compiles correctly, but of course fails to run. I read about an OS X user in this vmware forum post who was also having trouble. It appears the gsoap guide says you cannot use stdsoap2.cpp's header and fault serialization codes, and you must compile them separately. The user in the OS X post seems to have done this, however I am not sure how to incorporate them into my test file (he creates the empty env.h file and then compiles it with soap2cpp) - if I include the envH.h file i get about naming conflicts with vspH.h. So a second question would be how do I use soap2cpp to compile all the stubs correctly so that there are not namespace conflicts (which is what I appear to be encountering).
I will not provide the source, as it is displayed at the first vwmare forum link by user stumpr. I do not believe the issue is in the source, but in the way I have used either wsdl2h, soap2cpp, or some incorrect combination of flags during compilation with g++.
Thanks for taking a look, and hopefully some one can resolve the issue!
EDIT I think I may have solved this - by using a 64bit system (and one with more memory). I tried compiling with -m32 on the X.6 and it was not able to do it (complaining about memory issues).
Hopefully someone will stumble upon this and be happy to know the answer.
