where is the executable f90wrap.exe file on windows10

[ChaoyiZhu93]

I have installed f90wrap by cloning the repository from GitHub and running the setup.py script in anaconda prompt. The f90wrap can already be imported in python as module however the f90wrap can not be found if I call it directly in the anaconda prompt (or terminal). error message below:
'f90wrap' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
can not find the usable f90wrap.exe file to be added as environment variable

You might need to add whichever directory the script had been copied to to your PATH. For example, if you installed with python setup.py install —user this would be ~/.local/bin

I just installed it on my mac using the same method and there is no problem running f90wrap. the f90wrap executable in mac is in the /anaconda/bin.

On my windows laptop, the f90wrap is in the /anaconda/script along with the f2py. I can run f2py on the terminal but not the f90wrap.

Sorry, I’ve not used anaconda on Windows and know nothing about how paths are specified there. Must be a general issue though, not specific to f90wrap. It sounds like you need to add /anaconda/scripts to the console search path, but I don’t know how to do this in Windows.

Thanks for the prompt reply. This tool will be very helpful for my work to wrap around a huge fortran90 repository. If it temporarily doesn't work out on the windows, I will just stick with my mac.

In fact, I already added the directory /anaconda/scripts to my PATH otherwise the f2py wouldn't be able to run. However, the f2py is in the format of an executable file .exe whereas the f90wrap does not have a file extension ..

I would also like a solution to this problem. There is not executable generated in this path, I find only the these files under the Scripts folder: f90wrap, f90doc, f2py-script.py and f2py-f90wrap. Is there any way to compile them into an executable?

[jameskermode]

As above, I’ve not used Python in general of f90wrap in particular on Windows so am unable to help. If anyone else can make a suggestion that would be great. It should not be necessary to build an executable, since these are standard Python scripts, and if necessary could be invoked as python f90wrap etc, but I’m sure there’s a better solution than that.

In principle conda packages should just pick up the scripts entry from setup.py (that was broken some time around 2016, see conda/conda-build#1471), so that should work. However, the f90wrap recipe is not built on Windows, sadly. It might be worth it to report this over at https://github.com/conda-forge/f90wrap-feedstock/issues
