cannot open file 'ifconsol.lib'

[barakobama]

I got a link error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ifconsol.lib'

The file is there but the compiler not finding it.

I am making a 32bit version on Xeon with Intel Fortran 9.1 [IA32].

My lib environment which I get from "Options" under "Tool" menu is:

$(IFORTInstallDir)Lib
$(VCInstallDir)lib
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfclib
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfclibi386
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDKlib
$(FrameworkSDKDir)lib
$(VSInstallDir)
$(VSInstallDir)lib
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 8VCATLMFCLIB
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 8VCLIB
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 8VCPlatformSDKlib
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0lib
%IFORT_COMPILER91%IA32Lib
%IFORT_COMPILER91%EM64TLib

Could you please let me know what's wrong?

Peter, that would have no effect for a Fortran project.  Please set the project property Linker > General > Show Progress > Show some progress messages), do a rebuild, and then attach a zip of the buildlog.htm from the Debug folder.

Steve, Build logn i attached.

Peter

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Ok - well, that didn't tell me much.

What do you have listed under Tools > Options > Intel Composer XE > Visual Fortran > Compiler > Libraries?

I assume you saw the compile error for the directive that is missing the routine name. I had fixed this when I was playing with your project earlier.

Steve

$(IFortInstallDir)lib\ia32;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib;$(VCInstallDir)lib;$(WindowsSdkDir)lib

Sorry if there was an error. This verison comple fine on my spare PC.

Peter

[Steven_L_Intel1]

You didn't provide the information from Tools > Options I asked for.

[Peter_A_1]

Oops. I did not noitice the ..,

$(IFortInstallDir)lib\ia32
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib
$(VCInstallDir)lib
$(WindowsSdkDir)lib

Peter

[Steven_L_Intel1]

That looks ok. Try putting in the full path to the lib\ia32 folder in that list as a workaround.

[Peter_A_1]

Thanks. Thr patch works provided the full path is first e.g.

'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\compiler\lib\ia32'
$(IFortInstallDir)lib\ia32
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib
$(VCInstallDir)lib
$(WindowsSdkDir)lib

How can I find the value of my "$(IFortInstallDir)" or some other sysmbol?  ThoughI guess if it was wrong nothing would work?

Thanks

[Steven_L_Intel1]

I too would have expected it would either work everywhere or nowhere. I know we had some issue with these pseudo-environment-variables in Update 2 that were fixed in Update 3, but perhaps there is some lingering issue. The values come from the registry when Fortran is installed.

Steve

The problem has returned and I cannot name any changes.

1. The " Try putting in the full path to the lib\ia32 fold" patch is still in place.
2. I tried adding the path to the project libraries
3. I even tried rebootiing ..               but no,luck.

Peter

[Steven_L_Intel1]

What if you put the path in Linker > General > Additional library directories?  This is all very strange... Please attach another zipped buildlog.htm after trying this (if it doesn't work.)

[Peter_A_1]

Hi Steve

The recent problem was solved by remoiving my quotes e.g.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\compiler\lib\ia32

and is fine in " Tools > Options > Intel Composer XE > Visual Fortran > Compiler > Libraries?"

But, as I "cut and pasted way above" the quotes were there whan we fixed it!

Peter

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Right - you should not use quotes here.
