No, it's actually _impossible_ to answer this effectively, because the original question is completely devoid of essential detail. Pete, will you please read, and inwardly digest in its entirety: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html > Please share gfortran & shell command line(s) for > Stand-alone and and > *NON* Stand-alone examples. Yes, both of those are essential; also, we need to be told _exactly_ which packages, and their respective versions, comprise each of the two installations in question. > A Stand-Alone example could be something like this: > > jim at OptiPlex-780 ~/src $gfortran hello.f > *** without -o option, a.out is default output > jim at OptiPlex-780 ~/src $./a.out > Hello World And, as an example, even this is totally inadequate; where is the source code, from which such an example might be compiled? Furthermore, the default output file is a.exe ... _not_ a.out, (which is a Unixism). > On Non stand-alone, I'm inferring you mean something with subroutines... > So how are they linked?

Given how appallingly bad the original question is, I'm reluctant to offer _any_ sort of answer, but as a wild, and entirely speculative guess, I'd incline toward this; default linking mode for gfortran pulls in libgfortran-5.dll, together with libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, both of which must thus be distributed along with any dependent application, so rendering that application non-stand-alone: $ cat foo.f program hello print *, "Hello World!" end $ mingw32-gfortran foo.f $ mingw32-ldd a.exe a.exe +- KERNEL32.dll +- msvcrt.dll +- msvcrt.dll +- libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll | +- KERNEL32.dll | +- msvcrt.dll +- libgfortran-5.dll Note that the above was cross-compiled, on my GNU/Linux box, hence the "mingw32-" prefix to commands; the dependency on libgfortran-5.dll is clearly evident, as is a further dependency on libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll If my wild guess is correct, and this is the OP's issue, then both of those dependencies may be eliminated, by compiling with "-static": $ mingw32-gfortran -static foo.f $ mingw32-ldd a.exe a.exe +- ADVAPI32.DLL +- KERNEL32.dll +- msvcrt.dll +- msvcrt.dll The remaining dependencies are all standard MS-Windows system DLLs, so in this case, a.exe becomes effectively self-contained. If my wild guess is incorrect, then I'm sorry, but no one can offer a better answer until the question is asked more appropriately. -- Regards, Keith.
