Hi folks,
I have a question that I know part of the answer
too, but hopefully a new perspective will get me the rest of the
way.
I am in the process of moving a number of dck
files from trnsys version 14.2 to version 15. Of course, with 15, I know
that Microsoft Powerstation is not the supported compiler, and am reminded of
this when I go to rebuild and get the errors which relate to the compiler not
being able to compile exec.for along with another source file I can't remember
right now. I know the errors are caused because power station does not (to
the best of my knowledge) support the use of the "use dfwin" and "use dflib"
calls made in the fortran code. Since these modules (dfwin and dflib) are
not available in powerstation 4, obviously i can't rebuild 15 with my new types,
and I know that if i drag over the .obj files from 14.2 i will lose the
functionality of 15, which is of course the whole point of the up grade
anyways.
Unfortunatly, right now, purchases a copy of Compaq
Visual Fortran or whatever the new compilers are, is not in my budget. So
my questions are these:
1) is there a way to "trick" the powerstation
compiler into handling the "use module" commands in a way that will allow me to
maintain the functionality of 15?
2) is there a demo version of Compaq's compilers
(or the other supported / recommended compiler whose name escapes me right now)
that you people know about? I have not found one anywhere on the net...
perhaps my google-ing isn't what it once was..
3) are there other freeware/demo compilers that
people know of that I can use to compile my 2 fortran files which support these
unsupported modules?
4) is there anything that I am over looking? should
I be able to do this in powerstation?
thanks in advance for any and all
help!!
all the best,
Brad Livingstone
