Re: [photran] Problem installing Photran

Thanks!
Seems like http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/photran/documentation/photran6#Installing_Photran
should have worked; That's pointing you to THE most recent update site.
Unless perhaps you told it NOT to include the helios update site. Hmmm.
See if the description at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Parallel_Tools_Platform_FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_install_the_most_recent_released_version_of_PTP.3F
helps any. I just fine-tuned it.

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
is available

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
