Using ifort.exe other than ifx.exe in setvars.bat for EMsoft

[JosephYC]

Dear all.

I am installing the EMsoft SDK Superbuild on https://github.com/EMsoft-org/EMsoftSuperbuild

with latest Intel Fortran and visual studio.

But during the installation, error occur

"-- The Fortran compiler identification is IntelLLVM 2023.1.0 with MSVC-like command-line
-- Detecting Fortran compiler ABI info

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:190 (message):
Current Fortran Compiler is C:/Program Files

This program do not accept ifx.exe and only accept ifort.exe.

How can I change from ifx.exe to ifort.exe in setvars.bat?

Thank you.

Cmake version should be very new.  3.24.2 or above, preferably 3.26.  What version are you using?

[JosephYC]

I use CMake 3.27.0-rc3.

The EMsoft page states that the expected compiler is Intel Fortran v17/v19. The layout of the directories under OneAPI is somewhat different from what you would see in Parallel Studio 2019. The compiler driver IFX.EXE is in ...\windows\bin,  whereas IFORT.EXE is in ...\windows\bin\intel64. As a consequence of this altered directory structure, you may need to modify the Cmake and other configuration files to get EMsoft to build properly.

With a quick search, it appears this repo and software hasn't been touched since 2018.  You should contact the CMU developers to see if they have any plans to support newer Windows version, VS versions, and Intel compiler versions.  Also their gfortran support is way back to gfortran 6.2 which is also ancient by now.
