Compile Only

[Intel_C_Intel]

I use MS Visual Studio 8.0 -SP1 and Intel Fortran v10.0 under Windows XP. I have created a solution with a large number of Fortran Files. I need to COMPILE ONLY some files prior to building my solution. Is there any way to do that? I cannot find the Compile only command anywhere in the menus.

Are you using the version of Visual Studio included with the Fortran compiler? If so, then the "Compile" option is not available, as mentioned in the release notes. If you're using a retail version of Visual Studio (Standard, Professional or Team System Edition), it should be there by right clicking on a Fortran file and selecting Compile.

Perhaps you could add some commands as a Pre-Build Step to the project?

Hi Steve:

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I am using the Visual Studio that comes with the compiler. If I can find a way to specify in which order the files are compiled, then I can solve the problem that I have right now. Any ideas?

P.S. Are there any plans to add the Compile command in future releases?

What is going wrong that has you wanting to specify the order? It should build things in the correct order automatically. Try doing Build..Rebuild Solution and see if that helps. If it doesn't, please ZIP up your solution folder and report the problem to Intel Premier Support, attaching the zip file.

We would like to add the Compile command back - it is missing because our current implementation depends on the Visual C++ project system being there, but Microsoft has suggested to us another way of doing it so we may be able to work around the problem in the future.
