[MITgcm-support] MITgcm Support Request

[Martin Losch]

Hi Sara,

it looks like your paths are not set up properly and the system does not find the gfortran compiler. Make sure that you can compile simple programs (“hello world” (o:, e.g, “gfortran mytest.f") and then you may have to follow the instruction in error message:

I don’t know the platform mingw64_nt, but I would start with the build options file linux_amd64_gfortran

I have also installed Cygwin64 to be able to run Linux commands, thinking I could use a Linux build option. However, when I try to specify a Linux optfile, I reveive the following error:
