Intel Visual Fortran Help

[r_sharp]

Hi,

First of all, this is not for me, so I have no idea what I am talking about. Just need a bit of help because I have never used this program before.

I am having a bit of trouble compiling some Compaq Visual Fortran code. When I go to 'build' it has no problems, but when I go to compile the code, there is no compile button in the Menu. Any ideas?

Thanks

What version of Intel Visual Fortran do you have? As of version 9.1 (I think), you can right click on a Fortran source file and select Compile.

The thing that is installed on the machine is Visual Studio .Net 2003 with the Intel Fortran Compiler 9.0 integration. There is a button there to 'Build' but there is no compile button

By default, no, but you can drag it to the menu and assign a keyboard shortcut from Tools/Customize/Command tab/Build category.

I don't think Compile was available in the 9.0 integration. It is in 9.1.

Found the compile button. Thanks

But now there is a problem opening the source files. We keep getting the error: "Windows cannot find C:/Documents and Settting/.../filename.f. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." It is really weird because the file is in that location! What could be the problem?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Where are you seeing this error? In Visual Studio? Try removing the source file from the project and readding it.

Ok well I think this guy has another problem. I'm guessing it's in his code now. There is a line which brings up an error when the code is compiled. 'use numeric_library' is what the line says. There is an error opening this library. Is this a certain file that should be somewhere on the computer. I have never used IVF before so I'm just guessing that it is. One thing I should also mention is that he made this code in CVF. Thanks in advance.

NUMERICAL_LIBRARIES is the module of IMSL library, shipped with CVF professional edition. It is also shipped with IVF professional edition, and the extra cost for purchasing is somewhere around $500.

Alternatively, if the number of used IMSL routines is relatively small and/or they're replaceable with other routines, you might consider a free alternative, such as lapack or other packages; see e.g. http://www.netlib.org. The free alternatives, of course, also tend to have worse performance than commercial ones.
