Install of Parallel XE, version 15

[Perkins__Andrew]

I am evaluating an older version of the Fortran tools (i.e., version 15) due to the fact that I am still running with Visual Studio 2012.  I had to get version 15 in order to have support for this version of VS.  When performing the installation, I saw a warning that stated:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell was not found on the system.
Please note that Visual Studio Shell does not support use of Intel C++ Compiler XE - it is for use with Intel Visual Fortran Compiler XE only.

So...  I went through the install without any problems, but I wonder if there is any further configuration/download I need to do for Visual Studio to ensure successful operation of the Intel product.  I am interested only in the Fortran component of the toolset for now.  Also, I attempted to start Visual Studio subsequent to the Intel installation and it appears to hang.  Is there a significant amount of processing that needs to be done for the first launch of Visual Studio in order for the Fortran components to work?

Please advise.

I'm guessing that you installed an edition that also included Intel C++. If you aren't going to use C++, then ignore the warning about that.

There should not be more than 5-10 seconds at most starting Visual Studio. I'll note that the 2017 version of Intel Parallel Studio XE supported VS2012.

See if the tips shown in https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/troubleshooting-fortran-integration-issues-with-visual-studio/ help.

When I attempted to install 2017, the pre-requisite information states that you need VS Shell 2013.  When I attempted to install, the warning/error list showed that Fortran would be unusable if the installation continued.  So...  I went back to the version that said it worked with VS 2012 without problems.  I really didn't think I would see any messages indicating problems, but I did.

Ok - that looks fine. Is VS2012 still giving you trouble?

I do recall that some people had an issue with PSXE2017 and VS2012 where the install didn't recognize VS2012, but it worked anyway. In fact, I think that happened to me.

[Perkins__Andrew]

Hey Steve,

No, I appear to be working, but I had to wait until this morning before I could launch VS.  When I attempted yesterday, as I stated above, VS supposedly started, but the window hung.

Now, I've got my project imported into VS and had a couple of things I've had to change to get a "clean" compile.

!
!09 Jan 2018 - Andrew Perkins
!
!Changed Extensions of two files from .for to .f90 in order to force the compiler to use Free Form formatting
! the problem was that a continuation character of & was being used in a .for file, thereby causing an issue.
! RDJIB.FOR => RDJIB.F90
! RDDRUM.FOR => RDDRUM.F90
!
! Changed Project Properties -> Fortran -> Diagnostics -> Language Usage Warnings -> Check Routine Interfaces
! from Yes (/warn:interfaces) to No to remove the error message:
! error #7978: Required interface for passing assumed shape array is missing from original source. [IOREC]
! in HITCH_LOADS.F90, line 74
!
! File msado15.f90 experienced several warnings. Per Intel support, this warning should be eliminated
! by changing the INTENT(OUT) to INTENT(INOUT) for the affected variables
! Warning #6843: A dummy argument with an explicit INTENT(OUT) declaration is not given an explicit value.

Now, I'm getting link errors.  Don't understand what they are saying.  Maybe you can help?

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _P067A                                                           GROUND_PRESS_BOOM.obj
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _P067A referenced in function _LODBM        LODBM.obj
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _PO61 referenced in function _RPD061        RPD061.obj
....

I can't find the symbols _P* anywhere in my code.  Any thoughts?

[Perkins__Andrew]

I believe I found what I need.  There are include files located in the

[Perkins__Andrew]

Steve,

As I tried to say above, I think the information I need is in the Include files, but I'm not sure how to make sure the compiler/linker knows where to look.  Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know your application. You need to find the source files or perhaps object library that declares these procedures. The linker messages tell you where they are referenced from. .INC files rarely include procedure definitions, and if the source program wanted to INCLUDE them and they couldn't be found, you'd get compile-time errors.

I will also comment that by turning off interface checking you are hiding a real problem that is likely to lead to incorrect results. The INTENT changes are harmless but again without seeing your sources I don't know if the messages are correct. My experience is that those particular messages are never wrong.

I'm a bit puzzled about renaming the files - simply using & as continuation in column 6 is fine for fixed-form. If the & was at the end of the line, then that is indeed free-form and .f90 is the correct file type.
