John thanks for the very quick reply. Is that something this group can do? Norman

Forgive me if I am not following the right approach but I am not sure of the correct procedure to follow for this request.

 

Currently I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 with RISC OS 5 and would to be able to use a modern Fortran compiler such as gfortran which is part of the GCC suite. This compiler is available on the Pi in Raspbian but not in RISC OS. 

 

Since GCC is available for RISC OS on the Pi but not the Fortran part, I was wondering if it is possible for someone in RISC OS or GNU to include gfortran with the gcc suite for RISC OS?

We used to have gfortran included in our GCCSDK GCC 3.4.x releases.  I'm not sure how popular it was or how well it was and used.

For the GCCSDK GCC 4.1.x/4.7.x releases, gfortran wasn't included.  As far as I know nobody spent time trying to build it, test/fix and package it.  As noted at http://www.riscos.info/index.php/GCCSDK_Development#Status it could be just a matter of enabling it and see what happens.
