Getting Intel Fortran & IMSL up and running in VS 2008

[maciej]

Dears,

I used old IMSL4.0 and other Fortran for a few years so thought it would not take me all day to compile test program now in Intel. I know it is sure obvious for most of you but I spent a few fine hours digging in documentation and internet to get Intel Fortran + IMSL in VS2008 up and running... I think the documentation lack of short and simple part "How to set environment in VS2008 to get Intel Fortran & IMSL working".

So for anyone new who simply might want to compile Fortran source using IMSL - two, also simple steps in VS2008 before pressing F5:

1. Menu Project/[name] Properties: Fortran - set "Additional Include Directories" field to "C:\Program Files\VNI\imsl\fnl600\IA32\include\dll" (this will ensure the first pass will be succesfull but not the linking phase)

2. Menu Project/[name] Properties: Linker/Input - set "Additional Dependencies" field to "C:\Program Files\VNI\imsl\fnl600\IA32\lib\imsl_dll.lib" (this will ensure also linking phase will be succesful)

This is for IA32 systems - I think on x64 should be similar. Also I have to check if I had to use some IMSL/STAT maybe it may require me to make additional changes.

Now I am happy coding my new Intel Fortran with IMSL libraries. :)

best regards,
Maciej

In the right column of this forum (on the main page) is a link to a Knowledge Base article on Installing and Using the IMSL Libraries. This information is provided - it's also in the compiler documentation under Using Libraries.

I'm glad to hear that you figured it out on your own.

Finally I found it here and in the provided documentation because I didn't stop looking for it after I solved the problem.

I bought the product yesterday and rushed into porting my old F95 codes and thought I do it in two or three clicks... ;)
I see great potential in using this Intel VisualFortran because I always had problems in getting Windows API to work in old Fortran.

Thank You for answering me.

regards,
Maciej
