A friend of mine asked me if it would be possible to port the Octave project to the iPhone. I haven't compiled an external package for an iPhone project before, so I downloaded the source code, and then used some scripts found on a couple of different Web sites ( one , two ) to try and build the libraries. However, when I try either of these scripts (which are nearly identical), they eventually die during the configure
phase with the following error output:
[...snip checks...]

checking for dummy main to link with Fortran 77 libraries... rm: conftest.dSYM: is a directory
none
checking for Fortran 77 name-mangling scheme... configure: error: cannot compile a simple Fortran program
See `config.log' for more details.
Is the problem that the iPhone SDK/Xcode doesn't include a Fortran cross-compiler, or am I doing something wrong?
The iPhone SDK does not include a FORTRAN compiler. Apple's last FORTRAN product was for the Apple ][, although 3rd party and/or open source compilers have existed for most systems Apple has built.
You could configure and build gfortran , but it's going to be a PITA. You'll likely need to merge in changes from Apple's customized GCC 4.2 fork found under iPhone here with a recipe for building it for Darwin, such as this .
You might try f2c as the Octave project suggests.
