Future 32-bit Support?

[Stuart-McDonald]

With IFORT's deprecation and eventual removal in year, will IFX be updated to build 32-bit binaries? We have FORTRAN applications that are reliant on 3rd party libraries that are only available as 32-bit libraries.

My recall is that IFX is 64 bit only, end off.  I think I would be looking at the 32 bit libs..... Everything had it end of life lets face it no one builds 16bit windows applications!

There are no plans for IFX to support building 32bit binaries.  You will need to keep your copy of ifort around for as long as you need those older 32bit libraries.

Hi, I am using Intel Fortran Compiler to run a legacy Fortran 77/90 code through Visual Studio 2026. We are having compatibility issues with the oneMKL and legacy code. How can we obtain the 32bit version of the compiler that works in VS and 32bit MKL? Or any workaround suggestions for this? Appreciate some help!

Intel does not make older downloads available unless you have a paid support contract. I suggest that you ask in the MKL forum for help with your issues.
