Compile only problem

[Intel_C_Intel]

SInce upgrading to 8.1, I find selecting "compile" from the menu does nothing, nor does using ctrl-F7. I must "build" the project to get anything to compile.

Have I inadvertently screwed up something in visual studio? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

Pretty much the same occured for me. I had Intel 7.0 installed some time ago and it had the 'compile' button permanently inactive. The next version (8.0 or 8.1) initially allowed 'compiling a file' but then after some crashes it became inactive as well. Strangely enough, I can go to "build->compile" and it works.

I found the same. But, if I mark one file in the source file list, I can compile it.

Very geheimnisvoll.

Interesting; selecting the file in the explorer works for me too....

7.0 did not support single compile, 8.x does. You do have to have a Fortran file selected in the Solution Explorer pane. It seems to work as expected for me. If you think there is a problem, please report it, with explicit details as to how you demonstrate the problem, to Premier Support.

I can live with it, though it's now less connvenient. I used to be able to select just the source tab for the compile step--now I have to select it both places, or at least after working on a file, I now have to go select it on the explore pane and then select compile.This can happen often, as sometimes I must look at several files before making changes in one.

Maybe selecting it on the tab used to force the selection in the explorer pane?

Ok, I see the behavior you describe. I had never used Compile from the Build menu before so I had not seen it. Please file a report to Premier Support and we'll investigate.

[Intel_C_Intel]

Ok, I'll do that.

BTW I can't find any other way to compile other than Ctrl-F7 or off the build menu ......

Right click on the file in Solution Explorer and select Compile.
