I have a file written in Fortran with the extension *.f and I want to build it into an *.exe file for the operation in the Windows environment (i.e. WinXP). What FREE compiler do I need if any? Any step by step instructions? Thanks!

This link leads to a site with a free eveluation copy of a fortran for windows compiler (win32 not win64). It requires you to submit a request and then wait for them to send the download instructions within 24 hours and then within 2 days they will also send an activation key. 3 day wait but it should do what you need it to.

Jason,
If I had known Watcom had an open source fortran compiler for windows I would have definitely recommended it. Go with this instead of my original recommendation. Thank you egkenny!

I used Watcom but I am having a problem building the file. It won't create an *.exe file because there are errors: Linker returned a bad status. There are some other errors that went along with that.
I'm new to Fortran but might the fact that the extension of the file is *.f affect it? It compiles but won't create an *.exe file; instead it creates an *.err file. Are there different versions of Fortran (i.e. like C and C++)? If so, how do I build a *.f file? Thanks!
