Getting Started with the Intel® Fortran Compiler
for Linux*
Document number: 307058-009US
The Intel® Fortran Compiler 9.1 compiles Fortran source files on Linux*
systems. The compiler is supported on IA-32, Intel® EM64T systems, and
Intel® Itanium®-based systems.
The Intel Fortran Compiler operates only from the command line on Linux
systems.
The default root installation path for the Intel Fortran Compiler is
/opt/intel/fc/[Link], where xxx represents a 3-digit build number.
On Intel EM64T systems, the path is /opt/intel/fce/[Link]. The
term <install-dir> is used in the documentation to refer to this default
installation path.
Locating the Documentation
The compiler documentation is installed under <install-dir>/doc/. See
the Documentation Index (Doc_Index.htm) for a short description of each
documentation component.
Using the Compiler on the Command Line
You must "source" the compiler environment script, [Link] (or
[Link]), to set the environment variables prior to invoking the
compiler:
source /opt/intel/fc/[Link]/bin/[Link]
To compile a Fortran source file (for example, my_source_file.f90), use
the following command:
ifort my_source_file.f90
Following successful compilation, an executable named [Link] is created in
the current directory.
The Intel compiler also includes man pages. After sourcing the environment
script, open the man page to view a complete list of compiler options:
man ifort
You can read a summary of compiler options from the command line by
invoking the compiler with the -help option:
ifort -help
