Set fortran as compiler in Matlab_R2021a (in MacOS catalina 10.15.7)

Hello

I would like to mex -setup fortran in my matlab but It always fails (I have Visual studio, x-code, and fortran on my mac installed) and I get the error :

Error using mex

Supported compiler not found. For options, visit

https://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers.

Once I type in terminal which gfortran, I get "/usr/local/bin/gfortran".

Can any one help me (I followed the link bellow steps but it still fails)?

Intel Parallel Studios is the only supported Fortran for MacOS.

You saw in that Answer how much trouble I had getting gfortran to work for MacOS. I never did manage to get it to actually run a fortran shared object successfully.

I would recommend using Intel Parallel Studios.

Dear Walter Roberson

Thanks for the reply. I actually installed Intel Fortran Compiler Classic for macOS from here https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/oneapi-standalone-components.html#fortran. But I can't still mex fortran from matlab. Could you please help me by some more details.

Sorry if my questions seems crazy, my knowledge from mac is almost zero.

Hi Mahsa,

Make sure you have the right supported compiler for your OS : Supported Compilers

Try using Intel Parallel Studio XE 2020: Installation Guide for Intel Parallel Studio XE 2020 for macOS

Hope it helps.
