Creating .exe file from Fortran

[arman_g_]

Hi, So I am very new to Fortran and just started working with Microsoft Visual Studio.

I was wondering how it is possible to export the code as .exe so it would be readable by other computers with no compiler .

Thanks, 

Arman

Your program will be an EXE. But by default it will require run-time DLLs to be installed. If you want to avoid that, in most cases you can set the project property Fortran > Libraries > Use Runtime Library to "Multithreaded" (not Multithread DLL). Make sure you build a Release configuration for running on a different computer.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your comment, So for clarifying I wanted to ask this question:

My program is not huge in size but the outputs would be in the order of hundreds of gigabytes. I was wondering if I can change the current fortran code I have to a file that could be run on any other computer (without visual studio or anything) and still get the solutions? Since transporting solutions would be very time consuming

Thanks,

Arman

If you follow Steve's advice, the resulting executable file will be self-contained. You can simply copy it to another machine and run it from there.
