.dll compiled from .bat file is not running probably

[Omran]

I am relatively new to Fortran.

I am trying to compile several .for files into one .dll using a .bat (see attached).

previously i used to simply double click the .bat file and the .dll is generated. Now a black window popup and closes fast. Then by trying to force the run using oneAPI cmd the .dll does not work as supposed to be.

PS: i used the reguler cmd and and error appears always saying "ifort is not recognized as an internal or external command" although  I have up to date Fortran compiler (classic and beta) from Intel oneAPI

Your help is highly appreciated

Several things here... First, you can't run a DLL - it's a library that is used by an EXE. Second, to use the compiler from a command prompt you must invoke the setvars.bat script found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI  . This is done automatically by the shortcuts added to the start menu, but you can invoke it yourself, like this:

C:\Users\steve>C":\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64

Note this part of your .bat:

Here, it is assumed the environment is correctly set for 64-bit Intel(R) Visual Fortran compiler

If you just double-click on it, that won't happen.  Add the line:\

call C":\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64

and it should work.

Thanks for your fast response, excuse my ignorance,

- I am running the DLL through an .exe program already

- I did what's required and still receiving the same error (see picture attached)

-I have checked and mine is 64-bit

-I added the line to the .bat it did not work

It's odd that you didn't see any output from setvars.bat. Here's what it should look like:

What happens if do the "call" first?

Nothing is shown in both ways, I will uninstall and reinstall all oneAPI toolkits (Base and HPC) and will try once again

[Omran]

@Steve_Lionel  I have uninstalled oneAPI Base and HPC and Fortran compiler, Then only installed the Fortran compiler,

and then followed the steps you provided. It worked perfectly! Thank you for your time!.

Glad to hear it. An uninstall/reinstall seems to help a lot of problems with build environments.
