Testing your compilers¶

The instructions here assume you have Anaconda installed. Note that you must run test_helloworlds.py in an environment with Python 3.6+.

Here are the steps to test your compiler configuration to use cython and f2py with Anaconda:

First make sure you have completed the compiler-configuration instructions: Configuring your compilers.
If you haven’t already, clone the GitLab repository to your local machine so you have the code and then cd into it:
```
git clone https://gitlab.windenergy.dtu.dk/python-at-risoe/compiling-on-windows.git
cd compiling-on-windows
```
If you created a separated environment for your f2py and cython setup in the configuration steps and it’s not currently active, activate it:
```
activate py36_test
```
Compile the provided .f90 file (with f2py) and .pyx file (with cython) either manually using the terminal or automatically by running the provided bat file from an Anaconda prompt:
```
compile_helloworlds.bat
```
If you want to compile from the terminal, you can find the commands either in the bat file or by reading more here: Notes on f2py and cython.
Test that everything compiled correctly by running the provided test script from your Anaconda prompt:
```
python test_helloworlds.py
```

If your compilers are configured correctly, the output should look like this:

 Hello, World! I am Fortran!

 Hello, World! I am Cython!
