Compilation error using VS2019 Build Tools

Sid91 — Mon, 24 May 2021 13:55:44 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to compile a fortran 77 code with ifort but I get this error :

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: impossible d'ouvrir le fichier 'ifconsol.lib'

I'm doing this from a VS2019 build tools developer powershell command.

hope you can help, regards

Sid

Do you (re)compile the complete code or do you use some libraries that were built previously? Can you show us the command-line you are using?

We should determine where the reference to ifconsol.lib is coming from.

Also, show us all the text from the start of the command session to where you issue the ifort command. Using ifort from a Powershell window is tricky - what I found works best is to start with the cmd.exe shortcut Intel installs in the Start menu, and then type "powershell" to start a ps session, keeping all of the paths and environment variables intact.
