Yes, you will need the compiler to
- compile your own FORTRAN source code to an object file (*.obj)
- link your object file to the TRNNSYS.DLL (or to create a user-defined DLL)

The .obj is the result of the compilation of your FORTRAN source file (.for
or .f).

You do indeed need the FORTRAN compiler for the command to
work.
