Error LNK1104: Cannot open file 'ifconsol.lib'

[Stephen_Painchaud]

I have IF 11.1.067 installed in VS2008. I have created a C++ DLL which calls a Fortran static library. I use default setting on both project and get the error descibed ain the title. I have also tried changing the Fortran libraries to Debug Multithreaded DLL (to match runtime library in the C++ project) but get the same error.

Other than that one change, I have done nothing else to the projects.

I have checked the Fortran compiler library directories under Tools -> Options, and they look OK. I even tried the reset button.

Is there something else I need to do?

The error message is from the linker, and the Intel library in question is in .../11.1/067/lib/ia32/ifconsol.lib. The file length is 6284 bytes.

Make sure that the library directory is specified correctly.

One point of confusion: did you get the linker error while trying to create the C++ DLL? If so, you could not have built a functional DLL.

This error is usually caused by not putting the Fortran library directory in your search path in Microsoft Visual Studio (a one time setup). Please the KB which explains how to do it.
