Problems compiling programs with windows command line

[Ricardo_A_]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to compile a simple hello world fortran code with Intel Parallel Studio XE 2016 from the command line in windows 7 64 bits.

The object is created but I can't get an .exe file as I always get an error about the link.exe

I cannot have Visual Studio installed in my machine, so I need to compile from the command line or another free IDE.

What can I do. I haven't any experience with intel compiler.

Thanks!

It requires the link.exe and C++ support libraries from Visual Studio, Visual Studio Shell which comes with versions of PSXE other than student or evaluation, or possibly some Microsoft SDK (a moving target?).  In a fully supported installation with VS or VS Shell, ifort will find link.exe.  If you have a compatible link.exe which is not found automatically, -Qlocation,link option must be set to point to the folder containing link.exe.

You could install the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 8.1. This will provide the necessary tools and libraries for command line use only. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/vs2013shell-windowssdk for a link and instructions (you can ignore the part about VS2013 Shell if you want.)
