Is it possible to package stdlib into this installer as well?

Hi @fortran4r, I have purposely not packaged a fixed version of stdlib, due to its pace of development. Instead I have included a script to fetch and install the latest version. Please see my [previous post](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/quickstart-fortran-installer-for-windows/2270/27) on how to use it.

Nice idea regarding Code::Blocks! I’ll look into whether its compatible with Quickstart Fortran.

Thanks @CRquantum! Yes I agree it would be good to include a MPI distribution with this as well. Unfortunately, the latest versions of mpich and openmpi don’t appear to support Windows. The best option, apart from Intel oneAPI, would probably be Microsoft MPI, for which redistributable installers are available and could be included with Quickstart Fortran.

I have added Quickstart Fortran in the directory Framalibre:

> **[Quickstart Fortran on Windows](https://framalibre.org/content/quickstart-fortran-windows)**
>
> Pour installer GFortran et le Fortran Package Manager facilement sous Windows

Don’t hesitate to add the Fortran tools developed by the community in software directories at your national level. It is an easy way to contribute.

I feel like this project should be a repo in [The Fortran Programming Language · GitHub](http://github.com/fortran-lang).
