2. Setup Environment
In Cygwin, most compilers and setting are automatically detected during
the configure script. However, if you are building Fortran we recommend
that you explicitly set the "FC" variable in your environment to use the
- g95 Fortran compiler. For example, issue the command:
+ gfortran compiler. For example, issue the command:
- $ export FC=g95
+ $ export FC=gfortran
