Hello.

I am trying to link a previously built static library of a CoolProp program.

I have the static .lib file, and need to know how to tell the Fortran linker to include it!

 

Thank you.

Intel Fortran does not include (supply) a Linker. Instead, you use the MS VS C++ supplied linker..

If you are on Windows, you use the MS VS C++ linker (Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition, or Professional Edition)

Then build the application from within the IDE.

 

On Linux, you use the Linker supplied as part of the GNU C/C++ compiler system.
