Link problems with v9samples.zip ... "cannot open file 'ifconsol.lib' "

[longden_loo]

I downloaded the code samples to see the method for calling Fortran from C++, and was interested in testing the "C_calls_Fortran"solution (specifically, the "USELIB" project in which a C++ program calls a Fortran subroutine built into a static lib. However, when I tried to build the solution, the Fortran and C++ compiled OK, but the build ends with a link error (fatal LNK1104: cannot open file 'ifconsol.lib').

Has anyone run into this before and know what it is I need to set to make this work. Something simple, I'm sure.

I'm running IVF W_FC_C_9.0.028 Thx.

You could try the following :

Inthe VS IDE Tools->Optionsunder the Projects->C++ Directories option for Library filesadd the line $(IFORT_COMPILER90)IA32lib

Yes,I saw that on another thread and tried it but it oddly didn't work.

I said oddly because I just found that adding $(IFORT_COMPILER90)IA32lib to the USELIB project settings [ Properties / Linker / General / Additional Library Directories ] fixed the problem.

I was mostly surprised that the packaged solution didn't work "out of the box".

Maybe cuz it's Monday :)

Thx. Longden

The Fortran install does not add the Fortran library path to the MSVC library path list. You have to do this manually.
