Visual Fortran 6.6 Windows 10 ##VERIFIED##
John Cortez
To use the Intel Fortran Compiler from the Microsoft visual development environment, use the program group item for the installed Microsoft product, for example, Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 > Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
Under Linux, I used gfortran and failed to compile some Fortran 77 codes which are developed on Compaq Visual Fortran 6.5 (CVF) under Windows. Some errors are related to different keywords change, e.g. TYPE in CVF and PRINT in gfortran.
I've been trying to link my Microsoft visual studio community 2019 (VS) with the intel base toolkit FORTRAN compiler 2023. However, the intel compiler can never seem to find the downloaded VS. I have tried deleting and re-downloading with no help. Any help with this would be great.
Free student editions of Visual Studios do not include Intel Fortran.
To compile fortran, apparently it is either necessary to use a free compiler not with Visual Studios (MinGW, etc), or pay for a non-student version.
I want to test it to call it with Fortran subroutine,f77_main.f with hbcode1.fSince it needs one of BLAS functions dtrsv.c, I use MKL instead.And it need also c_fortran_dgssv.c to be compiled first. I compiled with icx/c c_fortran_dgssv.c,and I got c_fortran_dgssv.objwhen I compiled that f77_main.f hbcode1.f and superlu.lib and c_fortran_dgssv.obj with MKL /Qmkl using cmd console mode or Visual Studio IDE, it still have error linking.
For compiling with Intel compiler (without Makefile) in windows using Visual Studio or command prompt. It need to remove the symbol that compatible to fortran.Modified slu_Cnames.h is needed compile SuperLu library.
PROBLEM SOLVED!i see slu_cnames.h on superlu c header source code. i need to removed if symbol calling unnecessary method. use the appropriate only, the original "ifmethod" is not worked. Here is the approriate slu_cnames.h for intel compiler windows.
May I know why visual studio + intel Fortran is very user-unfriendly?
It seems Intel OneAPI + visual studio is not too bad. But I am not good at using debugger, perhaps you could elaborate a little bit more? Thanks.
Thank you very much for listing the 5 issues.
Indeed,
Issue 1 sometimes happens, restart VS solve the problem. I think it is perhaps related with Windows, after windows 10 1909 I sometimes have this issue.
Issue 2 is always a problem. Yes the IDE will begin to slow down after several hours or so. I usually need to restart VS.
Issue 3 is OK, not a big problem for me, but yes I understand it bothers some people.
Issue 4 I agree. I usually try my best to enable those intelliSense stuff, like below. But it is just not that intelligent.

Issue 5 rarely happens. But always ctrl + s and save project is necessary.
Overall I agree with you. But I can still live with VS + intel Fortran LOL.
But I do wish Microsoft and Intel people can make big improvements and make VS + intel Fortran better.
I guess this is going to be different on different platforms - vscode can either use Visual Studio Windows debugger (vsdbg) or GDB or LLDB as the underlying debugger (depending on the type option in launch.json).
Vsdbg is going to understand .pdb symbol files generated by ifort on Windows and gdb is going to understand whatever gcc/gfortran generates, but not vice-versa.
The Intel Fortran package included the Intel Array Visualizer, a visualization tool for scientific formats such as FITS and netCDF, which can produce x-y plots, contour plots, and image plots, and save them to other formats.[3][4]
Can also be used for gfortran. However, the POSIX API compatibility layer provided byCygwin is meant to compile UNIX software on Windows, instead of buildingnative Windows programs. This means cross compilation is required.

You need the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, such as cl.exe, and the Universal CRT SDK or a Windows SDK. A fortran compiler, compliant with the ANSI Fortran 77 specifications, is required to compile the fortran-77/90/95 interface of the library. A fortran compiler, compliant with the Fortran 2003 specifications, is required to compile the fortran-2003 interface of the library.
