What contains Fortran 10.0 compiler distribution

[jzlam]

I am sorry to bother with following questions but I have not found where to ask on Intel web pages, every possibility seems to be for customers.

I am using evaluation copy of Intel Fortran 10 for windows. In release notes I have found that:
1. Fortran 10 compiler contains also Visual studio - but it cannot be used to create and edit resources. I am using win32 api and it is very important to me.

2. There is not possibility to convert CVF projects in Visual Studio shipped with Fortran, why? Have this Visual Studio macro support (I am using macros very often to automatize some things).

3. In evaluation copy is not documentation to win32, is it in the full version?

4. Is it possible to buy Intel Fortran without Visual Studio?


Thank for answer

Jakub,

It is fine to ask such questions here.

1) If you need the resource editor, then you will have to purchase Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (or higher) and then use Intel Fortran in that environment. Microsoft does not provide the resource editor except as part of the Visual C++ product and would not license it to us separately. We understand that this is a problem for some customers and are looking for an alternative solution, but we have not found one yet.

2) In order to convert a CVF project, which "looks" like a Visual C++ 6 project, it has to first be converted to a Visual C++ 2005 project. The code for doing that is part of Visual C++ and not in the Visual Studio code licensed to us by Microsoft. You can create a new project and add the source files. If you have a complicated project and have difficulty creating a new one, open an issue with Intel Premier Support, attach a ZIP file with the .dsw and .dsp files from your CVF project, and we can do the conversion for you. Note that as an evaluation customer, you have full access to Intel Premier Support.

3) The Intel Visual Fortran product does not include the Win32 documentation. You can access this documentation on the web at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx

4) No, we don't sell the compiler without Visual Studio except for the Student license type;
