That took place in private e-mail, but I happen to be that maintainer of FreeBSD's lang/gcc40 port, so I should be able to recall the relevant points. ;-) On Mon, 21 Feb 2005, Steve Kargl wrote: > Why?

Well, I certainly don't deny that, and in fact the FreeBSD lang/gcc40 port has an option to enable gfortran (just set WITH_FORTRAN=something) and there is a lang/gfortran port which does just that. I'm fully aware of your development/testing on FreeBSD, and didn't want to imply to gfortran won't work on that platform -- just that the default gcc40 port there hasn't enabled it by default.
