External application using IMSL

[feliciobbarros]

Hello,

I am using Visual Fortran 11.1 and IMSL 6.0. I need create an exe file (prompt application) to execute in other computers without Visual Fortran and IMSL. Nowdays, when I do it, a receive a messagem warning that the imsl_dll.dll file was not found. How can I link the necessary static files from IMSL to my application.

Thanks for any help

Felicio.

You would need to specify the static IMSL libraries. If you are using an INCLUDE file such as 'link_fnl_shared.h', change that to the following:

include 'link_fnl_static.h'
!DEC$ OBJCOMMENT:'libiomp5mt.lib'

If you have enabled OpenMP in your application, do not use the OBJCOMMENT directive and instead add:

/Qopenmp-link:static

under Fortran > Command Line > Additional Options

If instead you are explicitly naming the IMSL libraries for the linker, use the static library set instead.

Alternatively, you can copy imsl_dll.dll to the other system and place it alongside the EXE.

First of all, thank you for your explanation.

I includedINCLUDE 'link_fnl_static.h' as you stated, but another problem have taken place:

- when I build the solution the following 37 erros appears. The first one is, for example:

"Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ___kmpc_global_thread_num referenced in function _E1LOCK imsls_err.lib(e1lock.obj)"

The other ones are similar.

The only thing that I have changed in my code was replacinglink_fnl_shared.h bylink_fnl_static.h.

Thank you in advance,

Felcio.

You need to add that second line with the OBJCOMMENT directive, then.

Thank you.

I include

INCLUDE 'link_fnl_static.h'

!DEC$ OBJCOMMENT LIB:'libiomp5md.lib'

and the solution was built with no problem. But when I use the exe application in another computer I receive a message looking for the libiomp5mdl.dll file.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Right. That's why I told you to use 'libiomp5mt.lib' instead.

[feliciobbarros]

Maybe I'm not understanding your instructions.

According to your suggestions I did the following:

- I added

INCLUDE 'link_fnl_static.h'

!DEC$ OBJCOMMENT LIB:'libiomp5md.lib'

- I didnt change anything in the project properties.

As a result, I could compile and generate the exe file, that worked very well in my computer (with the IMLS distribution). But, if I use this file in another computer, a message asking forlibiomp5mdl.dll file appear.

Thank you again for your responses,

Felicio.

You missed that the name of the library I suggested ends in MT, not MD.

[feliciobbarros]

Well, you are right. Now everything is ok.

Thank you,

Felicio.
