Re: [photran] running photran

Interesting. It seems that .ftn files are currently not associated with the fortran editor. You can rectify this by going to Window- >Preference and select the General->Editors->File Associations preference pane. Add *.ftn to the list of files. And select the Fortran Fixed Form Editor. I assume that .ftn files are F70 files? If, instead they correspond to the newer F90 files, then select Fortran Free Form Editor.

You should be able to see the Fortran Editor that looks slightly different from the normal editors. Syntax coloring should be enabled and there should be a ruler on the top of the editor. The outline view on the right should also auto-update every time you save albeit taking an unbearably long time if your file is pretty big.

For it to do anything useful, you would need a fortran compiler, make and also gdb. The photran FAQ site (http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/photran especially http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/photran/Photran+FAQ) might be useful too.

I create a managed make project, import from filesystem a few .ftn files and I don't see any fortran features. How will I know it's working? Will I see some syntax highlighting or something?
