If not, then press the button with the three dots next to the "Auto-detect" button and select the installation directory of your compiler manually.If you get a message saying that the compiler was auto-detected, congratulations!.If your compiler was not auto-detected, go to "Settings->Compiler and Debugger->Global Compiler settings->Toolchain executables", select the compiler you installed and press "Auto-detect".If it is the first time you launch it, the compiler auto-detection will be launched. If that is not the case, launch Code::Blocks.Launch Code::Blocks and you're all set :) If you installed the compiler on its default installation directory, there is nothing more to configure (if the compiler is natively supported by Code::Blocks). The method for installing the compiler depends on the Operating system you're using, the Compiler you intend to use and so on. 4.1 Downloading the GNU GCC compiler & GDB debuggerīefore using a compiler with Code::Blocks you have to install it.3.2 Downloading the GNU GCC compiler & GDB debugger.2.5 Digital Mars D Compiler for Windows.2.1.3 (Unofficial) TDM - "Twilight Dragon Media".2.1.2 HOWTO: Use Cygwin 1.7 with Code::Blocks.I can't see why the Fortran plugin for Code::Blocks should pose more of a challenge but it has me stumped. all the configuration I mentioned above I did in roughly a day with very little Linux knowledge. Please know my gfortran is installed at /usr/bin, and that is what I used in the steps. In fact, I believe the link has several referenced steps that don't apply, and may be leaving out many assumed steps. I did find the link, but I have been unsuccessful in really understanding the steps in the link and getting the Fortran plugin to work. So now I want to configure GFortran for Code::Blocks. I have installed Mono and Code::Blocks as well. My primary OS is currently Windows 7 (64 bit), and I have managed to successfully install and configure Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit) inside VirtualBox. I am relatively new to Linux and all the assortment of things that can be done with it. I understand Code::Blocks with GFortran seems to be one such solution to this problem. I am interested in compiling and debugging in a manner similar to setting break points in Visual Studio for C/C++/C#.

My goal is to find a free and relatively easy to use Fortran based IDE for Linux.
