Editing, compiling, linking, and running XL Fortran programs
Most Fortran program development consists of a repeating cycle of editing, compiling and linking (which is by default a single step), and running. For problems encountered during the development cycle, refer to the following sections for help.
Prerequisite information:
- Before you can use the compiler, all the required AIX® settings (for example, certain environment variables and storage limits) must be correct for your user ID; for details, see Correct settings for environment variables.
- Before using the compiler for a specialized purpose, such as porting or performance tuning, look at the categories of options in Summary of compiler options by functional category to see if XL Fortran already provides a solution.
- To learn more about writing and optimizing XL Fortran programs, refer to the XL Fortran Language Reference and XL Fortran Optimization and Programming Guide.
