Title: Installation Feap 7.5 on Windows 7 64 bit
Post by: MatiasAB on July 30, 2013, 10:50:47 AM

Hello,

I'm trying to install Feap 7.5 on Windows 7 using Visual Studio with fortran complier.
But when I try to build the library "plot" crushes and show me

Message   1    remark #8290: Recommended relationship between field width 'W' and the number of fractional digits 'D' in this edit descriptor is 'W>=D+3'.   

Error   3    error #6633: The type of the actual argument differs from the type of the dummy argument.   [CTLC]   

What is the problem? What am I doing wrong?

best regards

Version 7.5 is quite old and uses Fortran standards that modern compilers no longer permit.  The warning can be ignored but the error must be fixed.  To fix it you will have to look at the calling and receiving subroutines and make the edit indicated in the compiler error message.  Please note that with version 7.5 you will encounter a very large number of these errors.  You can also look into disabling this type of error checking in your compiler -- the code should run properly, despite the new standards.

A better option overall option, however, would be to get a new license (for version 8.4).
