Newbie-Build Problems

[matt_cunningham]

I'm new to Visual Fortran .Net, I just converted my workspaces/projects (i.e., from CVF 6.6) and have the following problems:

1) I have several projects within a solution; the projects are a mix of fortran and C++ (each in there own project). The Fortran projects consist of several Lib projects and one DLL, where the DLL project really just links all the DLLs with a few added objects. My problem is that everytime I hit the build button for a project that depends on the Fortran DLL, all the Fortran source files rebuild completely (i.e., compile everything) even though nothing has been modified. The C++ project dependencies just say "Up to Date" and don't recompile. Am I missing something in the properties (i.e., settings)?

2) The Fortran DLL project cannot link in the Fortran Libs that are within the same solution. The libs are marked as dependencies and they build and link, but the DLL cannot link any of the libs because its looking for them in the wrong place. The source directory seems to be prefixing the correct location of the .libs. I see the INTDIR appears to be correct in the properties, but the description says this is used as a relative pathname; how do I specify the base pathname?

You shouldn't need to specify the base - that is taken from the project location.

Are you using the latest version, 8.0.045 or later? If so, please send a ZIP of your solution (including the .dsw/.dsp files) to Intel Premier Support for analysis.

My version is:

Intel Fortran Compiler Integration for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, Version 8.0.1877.2003

Steve's comment about not specifying the base is a bit confusing. These project files were all converted from CVF, and now the DLL link cannot find the libs because it's prefixing the correct location (location of the dependent binaries) with the source/project location. Does this mean the binaries must be found relative to the project location?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

I suggest downloading and installing the current version and trying the project conversion again. The paths SHOULD be relative. If they're not, please report this as a bug to Premier Support.

[matt_cunningham]

Stupid questions.

1) I'm performing an eval of Visual Fortran, how do I download and upgrade tothe latest version?

2) How do I re-convert the projects?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Log in to Premier Support with the username and password you created during the eval (I think). If not, then register using the serial number sent you in the e-mail for the eval. Once in Premier Support, select Downloads.

To reconver, delete the .sln, .vfproj and .vcproj files and open the .dsw in VS.NET again.

[matt_cunningham]

I hate to be a bother, but we're trying to move this eval along and we need some support. Is there a phone number to call someone in support with, or a direct email to get some help? I cannot log into premier support (i.e., account problems apparently) and the support to get my account in order hasn't gotten back to me.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

There is no phone support. For this problem only, send me the files I requested at steve.lionel@intel.com and I'll see what I can do. It would be best if you can send a zip of your whole "solution" so that I can try building it myself.
