Windows IFC running on Windows 7 on Mac using Parallels Desktop.

So I have a Macbook Pro and I install Windows 7 using parallels desktop. I installed IFC 11 and tried to compile in my windows enviroment. I am getting an error right after it starts to compile.

NMAKE : fatal error U1045: spawn failed : No error.

Any suggestions?

I am not aware that normal use of the compiler on Windows (either using "ifort" from the command line or from Visual Studio) invokes NMAKE. What exactly are you doing that NMAKE runs?

I guess that I should mention that IFC works fine with our code on a PC, Linux and mac. It just is having problems on my mac running in windows using parallels desktop.

the command line that I use is: nmake -f makerw(make file) opt="intl"(tell the make file if I am using IFC or CFC)

Doers nmake work at all? Or is this an error that comes from a particular rule in the makefile? Have you started a "Fortran Build Environment" window to run NMAKE from?

If I just type in nmake and hit return in an INTEL Fortran CMD window. This is what I get.

Microsoft Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08

NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE not found and no target specified

Stop.

The nmake file works fine on other machines. I don't know if this makes a difference, but I am running IFC on a virtual machine running Windows 7 created by parallels desktop.

Ok, I think that I figured it out. I am trying to compile to an external drive. I copied the files to the mac and now it works. weird.
