command line vs msdev

[rahzan]

produce a DLL w/ a single f90 file which contains a single module in it using:
1. msdev
2. command line: DF /dll filename.f90

There are no USEs or dependecy on other modules or libraries than the default.

compare the resulting LIB or DLL files using FC.
They are not identical....What gives?

Compare the compiler and linker options under MSDEV to those you're using on the command line. They won't be the same. In particular, the Developer Studio project will use /libs:dll

I tried looking these things up but the only htings I see are /pdb and./implib and these are set tothe default name.pdb and name.lib
I did not see /libs:dll where would I find this?

Thanks, Tim

Sounds to me as if you're looking at the link options, not the Fortran options.

Well I looked there before I wrote. Nothing worthy of note and esp no /libs. Here is what is under fortran tab:

/compile_only /dll /nologo /warn:nofileopt /module:"Release/" /object:"Release/"

Further ideas will be appreciated

Well, since you didn't say what was different about the DLLs, I just took a guess. There's nothing magic about the DevStudio interface - it just invokes the command-line compiler behind the scenes. If you manually add /watch to the Fortran project options box and do a build, you'll see in the build window the exact commands used. Perhaps that will help you.
