Compiling Under Visual Studio 2008 Environment

I am using the Intel Compiler under the IDE of Visual Studio 2008. I had a three line program test.f for which I tried to create an executable. I was able to create an executable when I create a new Configuration Solution as shown below for rkr8. Then it creates an executable rkr.exe in directory rkr8.

1>rkr - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)

========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

However if I want to create a debug Configuration solution then I get the following link error and it does not create a debug executable in the debug version.

1>------ Build started: Project: rkr, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

1>Linking...

1>LIBCMTD.lib(wincrt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

1>Debug kr.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

1>Build log written to "file://C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectssample krDebugBuildLog.htm"

1>rkr - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

This happens with the release solution also. I do not know why I am not able to create a debug or release version except if the configuration is a new solution.

It's not clear from what you have said here, but the error message is a symptom of choosing the wrong project type - Windows Application rather than Console Application. Try creating a new project with type Fortran Console Application and see if that works better for you.

Hi Steve,

I have similar problem. I made a mixed C++ Fortran using Intel's VF10.1 and Microsoft VS2008.

The fortran project is a static library project and the C++ is console. I put the F77SUB.lib as additional dependency in my linker->input with the appropriate path.

Iappriciate your help.

Ohad

This is the c++ file:

// F77CPP.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

//

#include

 "stdafx.h"

#include

 "fortran.h"

SUBROUTINE F77SUB(REAL* IN,REAL* OUT);

int

 _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

{

REAL IN;

REAL OUT;

IN=1.0;

OUT=1.0;

F77SUB(&IN,&OUT);

return 0;

}

and this is the Fortran File:

SUBROUTINE F77SUB(IN,OUT)

IMPLICIT NONE

REAL IN

REAL OUT

OUT=5.0*IN

RETURN

END

These arethe compilation errors:

What is the contents of fortran.h? It is evidently defining a macro SUBROUTINE that is incorrect for use with Intel Fortran. My guess is that it includes __stdcall - if so, remove it.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the quick response!

I took fortran.hfrom:

http://arnholm.org/software/cppf77/cppf77.htm

and it contains the following lines:

#ifndef

#define

 FORTRAN_FROM_CPLUSPLUS

/*

I deleted the line "__stdcall" and now I get the following massages:

I got It - I just added the :

C:Program FilesIntelCompilerFortran10.1.021IA32Lib

into the addtional library path in the linker.

It works great!

No I'll try more complicated code which worked already under VC++6 and VF6.

Thanks !
