Hello,
I am trying to use the fftw libray under windows. I got a bunch of files libfftw3-3.def and libfftw3-3.dll. How do I compile my code so that it will link to this libraries? Thanks in advance.
The command: >ifort /libs:dll OneD.f libfftw3-3.def libfftw3-3.dll
gives error:
unrecognized surce type libfftw3-3.dll
libfftw3-3.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file:
Best regards,
Cristian

A .dll is not something you can link to. Usually what you link against is the "export library" (a .lib) that is created as a side-effect of building the DLL. The .def file can be an alternative, so try just leaving the .dll off of the command line and see if that helps.

I tried all the possible combiantions with .dll or/and .def in the compiling command but it does not work.
What about the visual tools? If I make a project, can I specifiy there to link to my library?

If you can't get it to work from the command line, you won't do better in Visual Studio.
Where did you get this fftw library? Does it include a .lib?

I downloaded from http://fftw.org/install/windows.html. It contains only .def and .dll files. Th installation manual says:
You should be able to call them from any compiler. In order to link to these .dll files from Visual C++, you need to
create .lib "import libraries" for them, and can do so with the "lib" command that comes with VC++. In particular, run:
lib /machine:i386 /def:libfftw3-3.def
lib /machine:i386 /def:libfftw3f-3.def
lib /machine:i386 /def:libfftw3l-3.def
Unfortunately when I execute lib from the command line I get error file not found.

Use Start > All Programs > Intel Software Development Tools > Intel Fortran Compiler x.x > Build Environment for applications on IA-32. This will give you a command environment that will define "lib". Make sure you have set default (cd) to the folder containing the .def file.

Thank you for your instructions. It did something.
D:fftw-3.2-dll>lib /machine:i386 /def

Creating library libfftw3-3.lib and and object libfftw3f-3.exp
Now what do I do to compile my codes?

Add the .lib to your ifort line that links the application.

I appologize, but could you give me an example of how should I compile the code if it has the dependencies in an external libray?

It would be nice if the compiler driver would invoke LIB automagically when it sees a .def file on its linker command line...
