The files in this directory are intended to allow the compilation of Fortran 77 source files by combining the Fortran to C translator f2c (from netlib) and the Microsoft 'cl' C compiler under Cygwin and MSys. Please read the INSTALL file for instructions how to use this tool. After you installed this tool, you can use the script "compile_f2c" to compile Fortran 77 code. If you specify the flag "--enable-doscompile=msvc" for the configure script in COIN projects, it will automatically be used (unless a native Fortran compiler is found). The files in this directory are part of the BuildTools project of COIN-OR, https://projects.coin-or.org/BuildTools. The files are made available under the Eclipse Public License.
