mkl_s.lib

[smit2007]

I am trying to build a fortran program on VS2008 whose files were created with VS2005. But I get the error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'mkl_s.lib'. I understand that this file was just a dummy library that was removed in the latest version of VS but how do I get around this error? I am new to VS and my program doesn't explicity call for this library. Is there a setting I need to change?

Yes, mkl_s was a dummy library and has been removed from MKL 10.2 and will not be available int he future.
You have to link with the new library mkl_intel_s.lib now. Please refer our link line advisor for to know the correct link line.
