Fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'mkl_intel_c_dll.lib'

VRaghavan — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 09:16:25 GMT

Hi,

I am currently using Visual Studio 2019 Community edition with oneAPI 2022 toolkit for fortran compilation. When running the code, I get the error, "Fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'mkl_intel_c_dll.lib".

INSTALLATION:

I installed both the base as well as the HPC toolkit for the oneAPI, and I believe these toolkits are always in 32 bit (I tried finding 64 bit installation packages, but cannot find it. Regarding the Visual Studio 2019, I installed the 64 bit package for both the community edition along with Build tools (Desktop development with C++). What I did read in some posts, is that Visual Studio 2019 is pre-dominantly 32 bit with some dependencies utilizing the 64 bit system. In my case, C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022 is empty, which tell me that all the files regarding Visual Studio installed on my system utilize the 32 bit configuration.

TRIALS:

I tried searching for the mkl_intel_c_dll.lib, but it is not present in my system (I checked in C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\mkl\latest\lib\intel64). I read many posts where it is mentioned that installing the base package of oneAPI should install this .lib file, but that does not seem to happen. Furthermore, I also read multiple posts where the discrepancy between Visual Studio not being 64 bit was an issue, which is why I installed the 64 bit version.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this error?

As an extension for this, is it possible to use Visual Studio code with the intel fortran compiler?
