Run the setup-x86_64.exe program again, and search for the gcc-fortran

there should be a gfortran.exe in your \cygwin\bin directory. That is the gcc
fortran compiler driver.
I managed to select djpp-gcc-fortan, Devel GCC for win64 toolchain, but
nevertheless the assistant downloads the entire collection as before.
isn't there a bug?
Package djgpp-gcc-fortran 5.4 targets a 32-bit DOS/Windows emulation environment
for compatibility and is nearly 10 years old.
You should remove that and install current stable gcc-fortran 13.4 (optionally
test versions 13.4.1, 14.3.1, 15.2.1, or 16.0.0).
All these compiler packages depend on library packages which may have their own
dependencies, some just to support coloured diagnostics on terminals:
$ cygcheck-dep -cqSR djgpp-gcc-fortran
djgpp-gcc-fortran: recursively requires ( bash cygwin djgpp-binutils
djgpp-gcc-core djgpp-runtime libgcc1 libgmp10 libiconv2 libintl8 libisl13
libmpc3 libmpfr4 libmpfr6 libncursesw10 libreadline7 libzstd1 terminfo zlib0
_windows(>=6.3) )
$ cygcheck-dep -cqSR gcc-fortran
gcc-fortran: recursively requires ( bash cygwin libgcc1 libgfortran5 libgmp10
libiconv2 libintl8 libisl23 libmpc3 libmpfr6 libncursesw10 libquadmath0
libreadline7 libzstd1 terminfo zlib0 _windows(>=6.3) gcc13 )
Before you download and install from Cygwin Setup, you can change the display to
Pending and clear any names from the text box, which will show you only the
packages which will download and install when you press Next.
