How do I include libiomp5md.lib in my executable?

[Dogbite]

Thanks to the helpful hints gleaned from this forum, I was able to complete the OMP modifications to my program. I applied it to the processing loop that consumes 80% of the processing time, and with 4 cores cut the runtime by just under 60%. The improved execution times have been such a boon that I'm almost feeling a bit guilty about having acquired a new 8-core workstation ... but only almost.

So I'm setting up the new machine, and I moved the executable over and set it running. I immediately got an error stating that "This application has failed to start because libiomp5md.dll was not found."

How do I bind "libio" into the executable?

I would recommend installing the Intel Visual Fortran Redistributables on the target system to provide the DLL. You can use /Qopenmp-link:static to link to the static library, but that may go away in a future release.

Thanks, Steve -- up an running now!
