Obtaining an executable fortran file within visual studio 2019

[galli_m]

I am new to VS 2019 . (Had older version)

I have recently installed (on Windows 10 pro..)

1) VS 2019 - community
2) compiler - intel oneAPI base toolkit
3) parallel processing - intel oneAPI hpc toolkit

In command prompt (intel oneapi, x64) I compiled
a simple FORTRAN program "ifort test1.f",
obtained and ran test1.exe successfully.

After a lot of time on the web for help,
I still cannot do the same within VS 2019.
That is .... getting an executable file...

Here is a recent detailed approach...
* launched VS (continue without code)
* file>new>fortran project from existing code...
* file>open>file ...test1.f
* build> configuration manager ... (debug, x64)
* build> build solution (0 errors, 0 warnings - only get BuildLog.htm)

Also tried...
* launched VS (create new project)
* >'all languages' to 'fortran'
* >'all project types' to 'console'
* > selected 'empty project'...'next'
* project name (console1)...location e:\IVS test)... create
* project>add existing items from folder...chose 'test1.f'
* build>build solution

in Output I get...

Build started...
1>------ Build started: Project: Console1, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Compiling with Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic 2021.2.0 [IA-32]...
1>test1.f
1>Linking...
1>Embedding manifest...
1>
1>Build log written to "file://E:\IVS%20test\Console1\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>Console1 - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

How can I get 'test1.exe' within VS? What am I missing?

Rather than open the file you need to add the source file to the project. In solution explorer there are right click on the project menu options that is one route.

The files might not be located where you expect them to be. With a Solution located in

C:\test

I see:

C:\test\Console1
C:\test\Console1\Console1
C:\test\Console1\Console1.sln
C:\test\Console1\.vs\Console1
C:\test\Console1\.vs\Console1\v16
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Console1.f90
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Console1.vfproj
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Debug
C:\test\Console1\Console1\ReadMe.txt
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Debug\BuildLog.htm
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Debug\Console1.exe
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Debug\Console1.exe.intermediate.manifest
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Debug\Console1.obj
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Debug\Console1.pdb
C:\test\Console1\Console1\Debug\vc160.pdb

Note the path to the Consol1.exe

Does the default console application (Hello World) build and run?

You did get test1.exe. The output in the build window doesn't say so explicitly. You can now run or debug the program from the Debug menu within VS. If you want to debug, set a breakpoint on an executable line first.

Thank you all for the feedback. It works.
