      <description><![CDATA[ at its most basic level, does the ivf compiler still support the direct use of makefiles using the  utility? In particular, does it support compile options similar to 

   fl32 /c /MW

and link options similat to

   link kernal32.lib /subsystem:windows

thanks. jfd ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Intel Visual Fortran supports development from the command line.  The command to invoke the compiler is &#34;ifort&#34;. Most of the Microsoft Fortran PowerStation (fl32) switches are supported. We recommend using &#34;ifort&#34; to link, but you can use &#34;link&#34; if you know what you&#39;re doing. Note that Microsoft removed the static single-threaded libraries (/ML).  /MW for QuickWin works.

Your comment mentioned makefiles but your example didn&#39;t.  The &#34;nmake&#34; utility is supplied by Microsoft Visual Studio.

I suggest that if you have further questions you ask them in our user forum at http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows

      <description><![CDATA[ I have successfully installed Visual Studio 2005 and Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler 9.1.028.  I open my Compaq Visual Fortran .dsw (or .dsp) (containing a few hundred Fortran files, plus one .c) and I get the "Visual C++ Project" prompt and respond "Yes to all".  With "Solution Explorer" pane selected, and clicking on the Project name there, I go to the Project menu but I don't see any entries for "Extract Compaq Visual Fortran".  The menu item "New Filter" is followed by "Show all files" and "Unload project".  Selecting other items in the SE pane makes no difference, still now "Extract ..." menu entry.  I've been stuck here for a few months unable to use the new compiler, any help greatly appreciated.  Also, can it convert from old Digital Visual Fortran projects too? ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Stephen,

This suggests to me that the Intel Fortran Integration to Microsoft Visual Studio is not installed.  Please go to our user forum (http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows/) to obtain help with this.  Note that version 9.1 is no longer supported, but what you are trying to do should work.

The project extractor is tested for use with CVF 6.6 projects. It may or may not work with older CVF/DVF projects.  However, if all else fails you can simply create new projects and add the source files to them. (The C file will need to go in a C static library project). ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Dear Mr. Lionel!

On the basis of Norman Lawrence's "Guide to Creating Windows Applications" I've written a Win32 application with menus and main callbacks with a lot of dialog forms. After filling up the forms the main technical calculation can be called, as a subroutine. The program works properly, but now I need to call one of the dialog in the main callbacks from the subroutine. How can I do it from the subroutine? Could you send a simple sample to show it?

Sincerely Yours

      <description><![CDATA[ Hi Steve,
I have finally bitten the bullet and I have just installed VS 2008 Pro 30-day evaluation and SP1. There was one bug when I restarted and got a message 'SQLDUMPER library failed initialisation...yadda...yadda'. I have ignored this as the VS installer finished by saying it had successfully installed VS 2008 OK.

I then downloaded and installed IVF 11.0 evaluation (after some to-ing and fro-ing involving registering and getting the registration key (apparently failing then finding I had tried to register twice!) and not knowing or being told what to do with the .LIC file that came as an attachment to an e-mail giving me a link to the download page - I nearly gave up here, then I closed all tabs and went back to the download page to find that I had finally been registered as allowed to download the eval version).

ALthough somewhat nervous at first, I followed your article on conversion from CVF using a test project copied from my CVF folder. I have since converted my first CVF workspace. I made no changes to the code and it went seamlessly well!  Amazing.

My only quibble so far is a lament that the INTEL Help does not include the Programmers guide that came with CVF. I find this extremely useful. Is this really missing from this eval and the full versions of IVF compiler? Can the CVF guide be integrated with the IVF Help? ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Giacomo, I don't know what causes this problem.  The easiest solution is to create a new project and add your source files to it.  This takes much less effort than trying to resolve the conversion error.

I would like to see a copy of the .dsw and .dsp files from the CVF project - you can email them to me at steve.lionel at intel.com

      <description><![CDATA[ Hi Steve,

I have MSVS 2008, v9.0.30729.1 SP and have Intel Fortran Compiler 10.1.4159.2008. I created a simple HelloWorld project where C call Fortran. I did this in MSVS 6.0 w/ CVF then I followed your instructions for the conversion to the new 2008 w/ the intel and it compiles great, runs and works fine.

I also tried doing a project from scratch. I created a C project with my c code that calls the fortran. Then I created a separate fortran project as a static lib under the solution per all the instructions I've seen. I also made sure I had the proper mixed language settings per http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/configuring-visual-studio-for-mixed-language-applications/

The project from scratch still cannot see the Fortran lib, what else am I missing??  I've compared the auto-converted project settings with my scratch build and nothing appears different.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Rich

My C code is as follows:

(main.c)

#include <stdio.h>

extern void __stdcall HELLOFOR();

int main()
{
  for(;;)
      { 
          printf ("Hello World from C !n");

		  HELLOFOR();
      }
}

and Fortran is (fortfunc.f):

      subroutine HELLOFOR()
	  print *,'Hello from fortran'
	  return
	end

      <description><![CDATA[ Rich, the problem I see here is your use of __stdcall.  That is not correct for Intel Visual Fortran's default.  It worked for your converted project because the converter applies the "Use CVF semantics" options that includes STDCALL.

Copied from above:

"Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell*
If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell, the following limitations apply:

-No Microsoft language processors such as Visual C++* or Visual BASIC* are supplied. 

-CVF projects cannot be converted to Intel Visual Fortran projects. Instead, create a new Intel Visual Fortran project and add your sources to it. "

That solves my problem since I am running the Shell. Thanks Steve. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[ Steve,

I've been working to migrate from CV 6.6 to IVF 8.1.  I've been able to compile and have been able to make runs.  However, the data is not being handled correctly during the run.  I have a common structure writtten in CV 6.6 which is not getting initialized when I run the source in IVF 8.1 (i.e. the structure members are being set to the correct values).  Only the first two or three members in the structure are initialized and the remaining are being set to the same numbers.  I haven't been able to find any answers in Intel's documentation.  Thanks for the help.

      <description><![CDATA[ Seller, have you tried a current compiler?  11.1 is the current version.  If you still need help, please ask in our user forum and provide a test case.

I do know of an issue where IVF and CVF differ in laying out a SEQUENCEd structure with a UNION in that IVF incorrectly adds padding. This can be worked around by compiling with /noalign, but my guess is that your problem is something else.

      <description><![CDATA[ So, if I understand this article correctly, with IVF and VS 2005 PPE there is no way to convert CVF's .dsw and .dsp files to the new format AND there is no source browser any more?

My colleagues will not be delighted to hear that.

Is there any plan to enable the source browser in the near future or do you have an alternative, as I found it very helpful when trying to understand complex code?
You know, it can be a pain to search 10 modules to find out how all those variables are defined, especially when porting from CVF to IVF and the compiler pops up a whole bunch of new errors and warnings.

Best regards,
