There are already 2 posts on the forum where users complain about problems with input when they use recent netbeans with msys for fortran development. (This is unlikely related to fortran though). Seems that switching to cygwin helps...
Another post: Thanks all – Wave, ArbolOne and Andrew Krasny – because it is now working! But can someone explain what has happened? See, as advised within this thread, I installed Cygwin as well, and based on my understanding of the Netbeans tutorial that Wave referred to, that you only need one of either Cygwin and Mingw , after the installation, I made the Cygwin the default tool chain (the tutorial does not say you have to install both – in fact, all it says is if you install both, to install them in different directories – “if” it says; after making Cygwin the default, I tested the inbuilt Welcome_1 project as instructed in the tutorial and it was all right. So, happy, next thing, I reran my existing Fortran programs and everything failed to even compile! Frustrated, I swapped the default back to Mingw and reran those programs and they compiled and ran! Naturally, I was unhappy that my problem remains unsolved; I headed straight back to this forum for another SOS shout, but just before I was to start writing my plea, I tested reading from the keyboar! d again (this is with Mingw as default) and lo and behold it worked! So the question is, why wouldn’t Mingw as the sole and therefore default tool chain work to read from the keyboard, but work when still the default but with Cygwin now also installed, more so when you were not required to have them both installed?
