That works pretty well, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem of using Fortran 90 on Windows (https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/2829).

See https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/numpy/BnZESkA4TdQ It seems the original problem was that David did not know "how to link C and Fortran" into one executable. However: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2096519/from-mingw-static-library-a-to-vi... Because of this, MSVC should ba able to link with libgfortran.a and object files from gfortran, but we might need to rename then to .lib and .obj. Another option is to hack f2py so that gfortran is used as linker when MSVC is used as C compiler. gfortran know what do do with object files from MSVC. Sturla
