a free Fortran compiler for matlab 2013a on window 7?

Hi all,

Is that possible I can install a free Fortran compiler for matlab 2013a on window 7? (I already install SDK 7.1 to mex C++)

I try to mex fortran 90 code in matlab 2013a, and I am confused about Fortran compilers, after check http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2013a/index.html?sec=win64

Thank you,

PS. after run allCC = mex.getCompilerConfigurations('Fortran','Supported'); I get

• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 11.1 with linker: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 11.1 with linker: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 12 with linker: Microsoft SDK
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 12.0 with linker: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 12.0 with linker: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 12.0 with linker: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 13 with linker: Microsoft SDK
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 13.0 with linker: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
• Intel Visual Fortran Version: 13.0 with linker: Microsoft Visual Studio 2012

and allCC = mex.getCompilerConfigurations('C++','Supported'); gives me

When you say "free" do you mean open-source or do you mean "no direct charge" ?

no direct charge, and since I will not just use it for like 30 days, so I can not go with those software with a few day trial,(eg.visual studio professional ) thank you

You might be able to adapt the information from the older document http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/11506-gnu-fortran-c-lapack-and-blas-from-windows-matlab

[Walter Roberson]

You could possibly get one of the ones listed here to work. They would not be supported:

Thanks Walter, the two links are very helpful, I will try them since the mex will not work unless I buy Intel Visual Fortran, thank you
