Advisor in a fortran project

[dajum]

I'm using the latest version of oneAPI and trying to use advisor in the nqueens fortran project in WIndows VS2019.

Adding use advisor_annotate and a few calls like CALL annotate_site_begin("solve") as shown in the sample causes compiler and linker errors.  Is this not by default added to the environment? I added the include folder for C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\advisor\2021.4.0\include\ia32 and that finds the module.  But the linker then fails to find the dlls.  Is there documentation somewhere that shows the expected way to do this?

TIA

There is no need to link any DLLs in your case. Could you please show compiler/linker error message?

THe include is /I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\advisor\2021.4.0\include\ia32"

I see. It seems you need either link static library (libadvisor.lib from lib32 directory) or add annotation source file into your project (advisor_annotate.f90 from include).

Is this documented in the samples somewhere? I'd like to know why this is so hard to figure out when trying to follow the sample. Am I missing something somewhere?

Please check this out

[dajum]

yes thats the page I was following.  I just don't see an indication that suggests I should know that I have to add libadvisor.lib. It mentions includes, but this is all pretty vague.  The haystack it large and the needles are small.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the feedback! Probably something like this will be much better

  I know it is hard to keep documentation in synch with code updates.  I was trying to use VTune 2019 which just gave unhelpful error messages when run as was told it isn't supported, and to use oneAPI.  But the documentation is pretty far out of date for the samples when using oneAPI. The GUI has changed a lot, especially for advisor it appears.   It is really hard to figure this out without your support.  Thanks.
