Good Fortran compiler for WIndows

hey,
i need a good fortran compiler for windows but do not know of any.

normally a freeware would be ok as it`s only programming, but you can also tell me even if its warez
also, what`s the best compiler for fortran for windows.
btw, is there a difference in using it on linux rather than windows???
thanks

Use Eclipse, it’s a very good compiler!

Eclipse is an IDE for various programming languages, and is not a compiler. There’s a world of a difference between the two.
OT, though I’m not much familiar with Fortran, the open-source and free GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) might be a good start.

If you’re on GNU/Linux it might be pre-installed but if you’re on Windows, you can check out MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows), a basic port of GCC for Windows which includes a Fortran compiler.
