mkl_s.lib

I am trying to build a fortran program on VS2008 whose files were created with VS2005. But I get the error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'mkl_s.lib'. I understand that this file was just a dummy library that was removed in the latest version of VS but how do I get around this error? I am new to VS and my program doesn't explicity call for this library. Is there a setting I need to change?

Yes, mkl_s was a dummy library and has been removed from MKL 10.2 and will not be available int he future.
You have to link with the new library mkl_intel_s.lib now. Please refer our link line advisor for to know the correct link line.

You have to change this in your project properties.

You may find details on how to do this from our KB on this here.
