warning #5117: Bad # preprocessor line and fatal error LNK1107

[shan__song]

Hello,

When I compile ansys demo function ResRd Demo.F against its binlib.dll using ifort compiler,

warning #5117: Bad#proprocessor line and fatal error LNK1107 happen. Detailed are in attachment.

Is there something more I can do? Am I getting the flags wrong?

Thanks,

Song

This should have been posed to the Windows forum, but I think you are confusing compilation and linking steps. You want to compile your demo file into an object file before linking it with an external library.

[Steve_Lionel]

In addition, you need to add /fpp for #include lines to be recognized.

Hello Steve and Juergen, Thank you so much for your responses. I appreciate it. I am new with ifort. This is the first time I use it. Should I do compilation and linking in two separate steps (compile ResRdDemo.F into ResRdDemo.o and then link it to the binlib.dll)? if yes, what are correct commands? But when I try a command: "ifort /fpp ResRdDemo.F", output is as follows: c:\Users\User\Desktop\bao\ansys\binlib\ifort-replyed>ifort /fpp ResRdDemo.F Intel(R) Visual Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler for applications running on Intel(R ) 64, Version 18.0.5.274 Build 20180823 Copyright (C) 1985-2018 Intel Corporation.

[Juergen_R_R]

Without the source code it is not possible to really help you. A quick google search did not give links to the code you mentioned.

[shan__song]

Hello Juergen, Thank you for your quick reply. I really appreciate it. Source code is attached. Song

[Juergen_R_R]

Ok, implicit undefined in impcom.inc is not valid Fortran. Maybe it is some extension for which you need to set a flag. When you try to find it, it could possibly be an Oracle extension or a VMS extension to F77, there could be a flag for the compiler to accept it, but neither gfortran, nor ifort nor nagfor accept it.

[Steve_Lionel]

IMPLICIT UNDEFINED is not supported by Intel Fortran. I had never heard of it before - definitely not VMS. Interesting that the compiler recognizes it enough to give you the error, though. IMPLICIT NONE (without the letter range) is the correct syntax.

[shan__song]

Hello Steve and Juergen,

Thanks for your responses. I absolutely believe that you are Drs. Fortran. Although I use ifort first time and I just join this forum for less than two days, I saw that both of you have resolved many of issues on this forum before.  Before I join this forum, I have searched on implicit undefined (a-z). I just found oracle fortran 77 mentioned this (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/805-4939/6j4m0vn9v/index.html). I agree with you that implicit none is the correct syntax. Interesting that ifort compiler does not support implicit undefined(a-z) and ansys uses ifort compiler, how ansys passes its compilation. I also agree that it is some extension for setting a flag. My question is What flag for ifort compiler accept it?

Dear Song,

thanks for the flowers, but I am convinced that it is hubris to see myself mentioned in the same league with Steve. I would consider myself only as a gifted amateur.

Cheers,

     Juergen

[Steve_Lionel]

I got the source to compile. Here's what I did:

In inpcom.h, replaced the invalid IMPLICIT lines with IMPLICIT NONE

Added the options:

/fpp /DPCWINNT_SYS /DSYSTEM_FLOAT_H

I don't know what SYSTEM_FLOAT_H means here, just that defining it means that it doesn't look for a float.h that was not provided.

[shan__song]

Hello Steve and Juergen,

Thank both of you so much. I really appreciate your help. According to Steve's instruction, the problem is resolved. In addition, as Juergen pointed out that I confuse the compilation and linking. please allow me to have a naïve question: Can I use /link option directly link to binlib.dll with ifort? I try it and failed. So I convert a dll to a lib and then compile them. Furthermore, I also try gfortran. gfortran compiles it successfully via converting functions to small cases and appending underscore . When running the exe file created by gfortran, it fails to load functions. I saw somewhere that ifort and gfortran are compatible. maybe it is incorrect.

thank you once again.

Song  

[Juergen_R_R]

Song, gfortran and Ifort libraries are not binary-compatible.

[shan__song]

Hello Juergen,

Thanks. Is there any means to covert libraries each other, for example, from *.dll to *.a and vice versa. 

Song

[Steve_Lionel]

You're using Windows, so a static library is a .lib, not a .a. Please ask your new question in the WIndows forum. It has an answer, but it's not appropriate to prolong the unrelated discussion here.

[shan__song]

Sorry for I have found Windows forum before.
