Looing for some help

HI,

I have 2 computers/ Both HP and both crap. I spent the last day and a half getting Visual Studio Community installed and working, sort of. 

I tried to install Intel oneAPI base, Fortran, and HPC installed. I wanted to install the software on my newer laptop. I could not install DPC, HPC, Fortran and C++. So I went back to my very slow windows 10 machine. It took a long time to get it installed properly.

Now, this morning I logged on to my Win 10 desktop. Apparently, everything looked good. I opened up Visual Studio Community. It didn't look right. I tried to start a Fortran program. Couldn't do it. In the drop-down Fortran was there.

I remember Fortran and COBOL from my time back in 1972 when Fortran and COBOL were kings if the computer. In fact they still are the best languages out there. I am hoping for some help so I can get started LEARNING HOW TO  WRITE CODE IN Fortran AND Cobol.

I am using Intel oneAPI Fortran and C++ with DPC and HPC.

I am not getting any errors, I just can't write any Fortran code. 

Is there anyone out there that can help?

P.S. By the way, I have 3 books on Fortran with varying degrees of complexity.

 

Mark

I can't figure out what you want help with. What do you mean by you "just can't write any Fortran code"? 

I suggest you read through the Intel documentation on how to develop, build and run Fortran applications in Visual Studio.  Intel also provides a language reference manual.

It may be that you did not properly set up Visual Studio. Annoyingly, Intel removed from their site the article explaining how to do that, but luckily it has been preserved at Installing Microsoft Visual Studio* for Use with Intel® Compilers

Unfortunately I have insomnia and am only able to do so much reading. So your suggestion may be nice I am limited to how much reading I can do. By the way I am using my pokey windows 10 system because I can't get intel installed on the newer laptop. I have pretty much done what has been written in Installing Microsoft VS Studio using an Intel Compilers. 

I had all of this working a few weeks ago. I am not looking forward to reinstalling everything. I will do it if I have to.

OK, I see that you are also suggesting that I reinstall visual studio. If I do that will Intel software be able to find the newly installed visual studio? Or will I have to reinstall the Intel software, too?

Oh yeah, also if you can explain to me how to compile Fortran using visual studio community.

Thanks

OK I am going to spend the next 12 hours redoing my visual studio and then intel oneAPI. This sucks!

No, I did not suggest reinstalling Visual Studio. I suggested reading an article which, given VS is already installed. might have you do a modify on VS to install a missing component. You would then need to redo the Intel Fortran install. 

The other documentation I pointed you to gives step-by-step instructions for creating, building and running a Fortran application.
