makefile - Configure make command for fortran in Geany

Question

sorry if it's a simple question, I'm a bit of a rookie and couldn't find the answer online.

I have a program in Fortran with a makefile that I need to run. I am able to run it through the terminal, by using mingw32-make command, but I'd like to do be able to do it through Geany as well.

When I just try to do it by pressing Make in Geany, nothing happens and a message at the bottom of the screen says Process failed (The system cannot find the file specified). From what I gather, I need to configure a new make command in Geany through Set build commands and that might solve the problem, but this is where I am lost. What exactly do I need to type in there? Do I need to direct it to mingw32-make? How do I do that?

This is what my Set Build commands window looks like now.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Two options

1. In your fortran bin directory copy mingw32_make.exe to make.exe.
2. In geany, change make to mingw32_make

The make in geany should then work.
