LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'IFWIN.LIB'

[pecan204]

Can anyone point out what settings may eliminate the link error below?

The project is a C++ dll calling a fortran static lib.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'IFWIN.LIB'

Thanks

Your static library references "Ifwin.lib", but the linker can't find it.

Add "Ifwin.lib" to the list of libraries (Properties/Linker/Input/Additional dependencies).

If you still get the same error, also add the path of its directory (C:Program FilesIntelFortrancompiler80IA32LIB or like) to Linker/General/Additional library directories.

This is what I would recommend: Add the Intel Fortran IA32LIB folder (for example, C:Program FilesIntelCompilerFortran9.0IA32Lib) to Tools..Options..Projects..VC++ Directories..Library Files.

Static library projects where the main program is not Fortran should also set the project property Fortran..Libraries..Disable default library search rules to No.

[Jugoslav_Dujic]

Ah, there it is... I also wanted to recommend that option, but couldn't find it :-). Thanks Steve.

Yes , I do have that path already listed. I also compiled it both ways with disable default search but the link error is still there.

Is there any other setting?

Thanks

If you're getting the message that it can't open IFWIN.LIB, then it clearly knows that it wants to look for that library. Note that when you're building a C++ project that VS.NET uses the list of libraries in Tools..Options..Projects..VC++ Directories. Make sure that the Intel Fortran LIB folder is listed there. There is no "other setting", though you can brute-force it in various ways (such as adding the path explicitly in the project Linker properties or even adding ifwin.lib to your C++ project as if it were a source file (not recommended in this context.)

I added the lib file to the project and the original link error disappeared but another .lib file is now not seen (ifcor??.lib).

I decided to reload the the compiler but upon attemptiong the installer wants to unistall Visuall C++. Is that the only way to reinstall the latest Intel Fortran compiler? I don't want to take a chance at messing something else unrelated up.

Thanks for some help.

I think you're misunderstanding the message. (Or you may be using an old version with a confusing message.) It's ok to reinstall the compiler and then reinstall the Visual Studio integration.

I am very puzzled at the symptoms you are seeing. If they persist, please report the problem to Intel Premier Support.

Steve,

Here is a screen shot of the message. If I select no (don't uninstall visual c ) I get a fatal error during installation.

What do you think?

Ken

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Ok, that's the old, confusing message. It is trying to tell you that since you still have the IDE integration component installed, that uninstalling the compiler (the Fortran compiler) will prevent the integration from working. I don't know why you would get a fatal error.

Try this. First uninstall the Intel Fortran Compiler Integration into Microsoft Visual Studio. Then uninstall the compiler. Now download w_fc_c_9.0.024.exe from here and install that.

[pecan204]

Thanks, that seemed to install.

How do confirmI have the right version? If I look at "about", I see the Fortran Compiler Integration but the version says 9.0.2827.2003.

Should it say 9.0.024?

Ken

[Steven_L_Intel1]

What you are seeing is the version of the VS.NET integration, which is not the version of the compiler package. One way to see the package version is to open C:Program FilesIntelCompilerFortran9.0DocsNotesfsupport.txt
