The default setting for a dll is to use dll version run-time library. If you change that (Project/Properties/Fortran/Libraries/Run-time library), you will get the required RTL functions embedded in the dll instead. That <B>might </B>cause problems if the .exe is also built using IVF and certain conditions are met (.exe and .dll share I/O unit numbers and/or do mutual allocation/deallocation of memory, so Steve discourages that), but it's fairly unlikely.<BR /><BR />2) Even if you use dll version of RTL, it's sufficient just to copy libifcoremd.dll to the .exe's folder or somewhere in PATH to the target computer.<BR /> Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:15:15 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Is-it-possible-to-call-a-dll-file-built-by-Fortran-without-quot/m-p/800909#M37643 Jugoslav_Dujic 2006-08-30T19:15:15Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/Is-it-possible-to-call-a-dll-file-built-by-Fortran-without-quot/m-p/800910#M37644 For your 2), Can I copy the .dll files required by our .exe called .dll <BR /> in our owner folder if I am planning to commercialize our software?<BR /> Is this behavior violate copyright? or we need negotiate with Intel?
