IVF 9.0 and 8.x side by side?

[orhun]

Can I install IVF 9.0 and 8.1 side by side and switch between them easily?

If not it makes it so hard to update the compiler and also maintain released software.

I am open to suggestions how to approach this problem.

Thanks.

Yes, you can.

1. The command-prompt versions coexist very easily.
2. You can have only one version at a time integrated into the IDE, but the 9.0 IDE adds an option (under Tools..Options..Intel Fortran) to select whether you want the 8.1 or 9.0 compiler.

Nice...

Thank you.

Steve,

You mentioned that the VS IDE provides the option of 8.1 or 9.0?

I am confused as you can only have one integrated and once uninstalled 8,1 "disappears"??

What was the trick I missed to have Tools/Option/Fortran/compiler version show v8.1 and then how would it be invoked.

Thanks

Don

If you install the VS.NET integration that comes with 9.0, a new option appears under Tools..Options..Intel Fortran: "Selected Compiler Version". If you have 8.1, you can choose between 9.0 and 8.1 here. This changes the paths for the compiler so that you use whichever compiler (and include files and libraries) you select. When you build, it will tell you which compiler you are using.

Oh - to clarify. You would not uninstall 8.1 completely, just remove the VS.NET integration for 8.1. The compiler would still be there.
