f2py on windows XP - "Unknown Switch"??

[Sile]

Hello,
I'm trying to get f2py working from the command line on windows XP. I
have mingw32 as my C complier (after some advice on a previous thread)
and Compaq Visual Fortran 6.5. Changing my C complier reduced my errors
but I'm still having trouble. I think I have all the correct paths set
but I'm not sure. F2PY gets further when I specifically tell it what my
compilers are as follows.................

C:\Program Files\ESI_Software\SileFortran\ExampleF2PY>f2py
--fcompiler=compaqv -
-compiler=mingw32 -c -m hello hello.f

If I don't specify the compliers it looks for a file cl.exe then
terminates when it can't find it.

Once the compliers are specified it seems to read my fortran code ok,
build the module "hello" and the wrapper function "foo" and writes a
temporary file "hellomodule.c"

Then it seems to use MINGW32 ok.........

The problem arises right at the end when it tries to generate hello.pyd
and I'm not sure why, I've included the error below.

I've tried eveything I can think of but I'm very new to programming so
I'm not having much success.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sile

Sile,

I'd suggest that if you haven't got this sorted yet, you try the f2py
mailing list, or e-mail direct to the package author.

Cheers,
John [who's been away from the net for a week]

Cheers John -

I did finally getting f2py working on XP using MinGW, GnuFcompiler for
F77, and much help! However, having set up everything correctly I have
been told in work I now need to use F90. I have downloaded and
installed G95 MinGW in my MinGW directory and this isn't working now,
I'm not having much joy with this! When I check the available fortran
compilers in F2PY I get the following...............

customize Gnu95FCompiler

Could not locate executable f95

Executable f95 does not exist

Could not locate executable f95

Executable f95 does not exist

................etc.


based on suggestions on the web I changed one line in g95.py to
version_pattern =r'G95.*\(GCC4.01)\(g95!) (?P<version>.\).
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. The problem seems to be with my
gcc version so I'm trying to find a way around this at the moment. Any
suggestions would be much appreciated, I have submitted this problem to
the f2py mailing list too.

thanks,

Ummm shouldn't that be "GCC 4.0.1", not "GCC4.01" ???
Further that pattern seems as though it's been through some web
garbling; for example "&lt;" instead of "<", the parentheses don't
match, the string isn't terminated by a "'", spaces missing, ....

Can you post an ungarbled version of the original line (maybe the
*whole* g95.py -- e-mail if it's too big) and what you changed it to,
plus what your f95 compiler puts out when you run it with --version?

Cheers,
John

well...

The --version output from my f95 compiler is as follows:

C:\>g95 --version
G95 (GCC 4.0.3 (g95 0.90!) Aug 22 2006)
Copyright (C) 2002-2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. [snip]

C:\Program

Looks like asking the Numpy folks might be a good idea ...

import os
import sys

from numpy.distutils.cpuinfo import cpu
from numpy.distutils.fcompiler import FCompiler

class G95FCompiler(FCompiler):

compiler_type = 'g95'
version_pattern = r'G95.*\(GCC 4.0.3 \(g95!\) (?P<version>.*)\).*'

That won't match the guff your f95 puts out. The "!)" appears *after*
the version number. See below.

|>>> import re
|>>> guff = 'G95 (GCC 4.0.3 (g95 0.90!) Aug 22 2006) etc etc'
|>>> vp1 = r'G95.*\(GCC 4.0.3 \(g95!\) (?P<version>.*)\).*'
|>>> vp2 = r'G95.*\(GCC 4.0.3 \(g95 (?P<version>.*)!\).*'
|>>> m1 = re.match(vp1, guff)
|>>> print m1
None
|>>> m2 = re.match(vp2, guff)
|>>> print m2
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x00AED9E0>
|>>> print m2.group('version')
0.90
|>>>

THE LINE ABOVE WAS ORIGINALLY:
version_pattern = r'G95.*\(experimental \(g95!\)
(?P<version.*)\).*'

No it wasn't. It would have had a ">" after "version"

HTH,
John

 

[Sile]

Thanks John,

Your help is very much appreciated - my f2py finally recognises my
fortran compiler - I'm very relieved!

That won't match the guff your f95 puts out. The "!)" appears *after*
the version number. See below.

|>>> import re
|>>> guff = 'G95 (GCC 4.0.3 (g95 0.90!) Aug 22 2006) etc etc'
|>>> vp1 = r'G95.*\(GCC 4.0.3 \(g95!\) (?P<version>.*)\).*'
|>>> vp2 = r'G95.*\(GCC 4.0.3 \(g95 (?P<version>.*)!\).*'

I changed my g95 file so that version_pattern was correct.

No it wasn't. It would have had a ">" after "version"

oops!

Many thanks again,

Sile
