Hey y'all!
For my studies I need to use three different command line programs written in Fortran by an MIT prof. Two programs (the freely available XFOIL and AVL) are already available pre-compiled for macOS, but these are not the latest version. The third one, MSES, is not freely available (I have an academic license for it) and only contains a compiled Windows version and the source code.
Now I have been trying for some time to get all latest versions to compile through various web searches, but I always get stranded somewhere along the way due to different errors. I did find this post from 2014 describing how to compile, but even that gives me errors.
Is there anybody here who has previous experience with compiling these or similar programs? What's the 'best' way to compile these programs? Should I use an old release of GCC (I have the newest version installed)? Please note, I have zero experience with (compiling) Fortran..
Before anybody suggests to 'just use the pre-compiled/windows versions', A) compiling the code myself gives the option to get double precision results and B) my whole python/MATLAB workflow is setup on my Mac and I do not have any access to Windows at the moment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Rod
