Compiler errors IVF 9.1

legacycode · ‎01-19-2011

Just installed IVF 9.1 and I am getting the following errors:

Intel Fortran Compiler for Intel EM64T-based applications, Version 9.1 Build 20070109

ifort: warning: Microsoft Visual C++ not found in path

ifort: error: could not find 'cl'

ifort: error: could not find 'link'

Any direction?

As the messages indicate, you need the Visual Studio C++ installation (X64). As that is an optional component of Visual Studio, and ifort 9.1 64-bit worked only with VS2005 (professional or higher), if you have VS2005 you must add the X64 components under C++ to your installation and repair your ifort installation. Otherwise, you must upgrade your ifort to one which includes the necessary Microsoft components (2005 or 2008 shell) or works with a newer VS.

Version 9.1 for Intel EM64T also supported use with the Windows Platform SDK as listed in the release notes. If you install a current Platform SDK, the 9.1 install may not recognize it, so try to get the one mentioned in the release notes. You'll have to reinstall the compiler afterward.

Please note that 9.1 is five (or more) years old by now and is unsupported.
