Hi Arjen,
What installation instructions were you following? Let's fix any misleading information!
Thanks.

Ah, thank you, that did work!
In the installation instructions it said
"http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ptp/updates/helios"
and that is available at "Available software sites".
In the default dropdown list, the site
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios
as you describe in your blog. I did not see the connection between the
two, hence my
initial failure.
With the information in your blog, I was able to get Photran installed
and make a tiny
one-source file project. With that experience in hand, I have a few
suggestions for the
Photran developers:
- The installation instructions ought to be updated in accordance with your blog
- If you add a new file, in my case a free form Fortran source file,
it would be helpful to
add the default extension - .f90 in this case - as it was not
immediately clear that
I needed to do that myself (Photran very helpfully asks me to
specify the type of
file, so this last little bit will just make it so much easier!)
- If you set up a project, then the makefile type projects do not have
a toolchain.
At least that is the case on my installation. How can you add a
particular toolchain?
(Intel Fortran is the one I am interested in besides gfortran)
Regards,
Arjen
