GSHandlerCheck

[connell]

I have a XP64 program (9.1 FORTRAN and C compilers and VS2005 SP1) that is linking and running correctly.
I need to add capabilty that requires a link against some third party libraries. When I attempt to link (using ifort) I get an unresolved external of GSHandlerCheck. A web article (http://blogs.msdn.com/mgaur/archive/2006/12/21/lnk2019-unresolved-external-symbol-gshandlercheck.aspx) libcmt.lib needs to be included - when I try this the original error stays and I get more errors about double defined variables (free, malloc etc) in libcmt and msvcrt. Any Ideas?

You need to make sure that the libraries type setting you specify for your project(s) matches the one that this library requires. It sounds to me as if it wants the static multithreaded library, so set that in your C and Fortran projects.

I am building from the command .line. My FORTRAN/C compile and link uses -MD option. Are you indicating that the libs were built with a different set of options?

Stuart

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Very likely. Here's how to find out. From the command line, do:

dumpbin -directives yourlib.lib

and see which library directives are used. If the library code is C code, you must choose the same set of libraries. If it's Fortran code, then you can use linker options to ignore the conflicting libraries.

Note I am using XP64 and building 64 bit exe's. When I try to start dumpbin I get

The procedure entry point __security_error_handler could not be found in MSVCR80.dll

The smae thing works on my 32 bit box. There are numerous (different) versions of this dll on my machine. I think it is getting the one from the SDK area. Do I have a bad dll?

Which PSDK do you have installed? What's the value of PATH in the command window you're using and how did you start the command window? If you're using the "Fortran Build Environment...", does it say it is setting up for VS2005 or for the PSDK?

[connell]

I have 2003 Release 2 Platform SDK installed. When I start the command windows I run iclvars.bat followed by ifortvars.bat.These have been modified slightly as recommended by Intel premier support as a result of an earlier issue. The output at the screen is

Augh, you're using Cygwin. That adds another layer of complexity, though I don't know that it's relevant.

Instead of dumpbin, try:

link -dump -directives

The PSDK doesn't have "dumpbin" so you are getting one from somewhere else.

[connell]

If I use link -dump -directives on the library with references to __GSHandlerCheck hdf5.libI get

Linker Directives
-----------------
/manifestdependency:"type='win32'
name='Microsoft.VC80.CRT'
version='8.0.50727.762'
processorArchitecture='amd64'
publicKeyToken='1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b'"
/DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib"
/DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib"
/DEFAULTLIB:"MSVCRT"
/DEFAULTLIB:"OLDNAMES"

The same thing on other libs gives different o/p. For example libadio45.lib

Linker Directives
-----------------
-defaultlib:ifconsol
-defaultlib:libifcoremd
-defaultlib:libifportmd
-defaultlib:libmmd
-defaultlib:MSVCRT
-defaultlib:libirc
-defaultlib:OLDNAMES
-defaultlib:ifconsol
-defaultlib:libifcoremd
-defaultlib:libifportmd
-defaultlib:libmmd
-defaultlib:MSVCRT
-defaultlib:libirc
-defaultlib:OLDNAMES

Not sure what this means - any ideas?

You need to link against the VS2005 SP1 libraries and not the PSDK you're using. This is an incompatiuble change MS introduced in VS2005 SP1. The library you have seems to have been compiled with the VS2005 SP1 compiler.

This is not a Fortran issue.
