Hi all,

I would like to call a subroutine storedin a DLL file from a fortran code, running under Linux. I have no idea on how to do that.

Could someoneplease write a small example that I can use?

Best Regards,

Paolo

It is simpler on Linux than on Windows. On Linux, "shared objects" (.so) are the equivalent of DLLs and you do not need special directives. Other than the creation of the .so files, you treat them as normal libraries. For details, see the Intel compiler documentation under Building Applications..Creating and Using Libraries..Creating Libraries.

Thanks for the reply, but the solution is not so clear to me....

I don't have to create a shared object as I already have a DLL that I need to plug into my fortran code.

I need to call a subroutine contained in the DLL from my fortran code, and I

don't know how to do that....

Best Regards,

Paolo

Are you using Linux or Windows? A Windows DLL cannot be used on Linux.
