Error #8284 while running a .f90 code

[T__Dhinesh]

Hi,

I have an old .f90 FORTRAN code (gfortran). I am trying to run the code from Visual Studio but I see some errors. I have the following tools/ compilers in my windows 7 64 bit system,

Visual Studio 2013 premium

Visual FORTRAN Compiler XE 14.0 Update 3

I could run the code(s) from the command prompt using gfortran compiler. I want to run the same code in visual studio so that I can edit and debug the code easily (I am new to Visual Studio though).

I added the below in the Visual studio directory in Tools > Options > Intel Composer XE > Visual Fortran > Compilers,

Includes: $(FNL_DIR)\Intel64\include\dll

Libraries: $(FNL_DIR)\Intel64\lib

I couldn’t open the .f90 script in visual studio (File > Open > Project) as it is not seeing any .f90 files from my folder. But I could create new FORTRAN .f90 code (File > New > Project >Intel ® Visual Fortran > Console Application > Main Program Code) and execute “Hello World” program successfully. I tried copy the main code and overwrite the hello world program with the main code and added all the other files path from Project > Add Existing Item, and below are the errors I got,

 I don’t understand the errors while it is successfully running in command prompt using gfortran compiler.

Please help me to find the errors. Also please advise me why I couldn’t able to open .f90 file directly in visual studio (File > Open > Project).

Thank you.

I was just commenting on the word "Solution", which to me does not convey what it really is.

Indeed. So many Solutions, nary a Problem in sight!

In the field of software, so many common words are used with different meanings than usual that newcomers tend to be confused. Consider "regression", "issue", "trunk", "chain", "clobber", "stack", "garbage", etc. In the early days of computing, printed glossaries of software terms were common.

I like "mangling".  The one I'm most acquainted with is "crash".  I'm also old enough to recall "thrashing", which is what the Burroughs machine at UoA used to do frequently.

I like MUNG a recursive acronym

Mung Until No Good
(Mung Until No Good) Until No Good
((Mung Until No Good) Until No Good) Until No Good
