FEAPpv 5.1.1c - installation problem with PSTART and PCONTR
« on: March 31, 2022, 07:40:30 AM »
Dear all,
I have graduation thesis about isogeometric analysis of shells and plates. I solved some examples in MATLAB, but my adviser recommended me feappv to improve my paper. I followed instructions and in the first step successfully create library. 
When I tried build solution for application (QuickWin application), visual studio reports me three errors. LNK2019 for PSTART and PCONTR which are for visual studio unresolved externals symbols in MAIN function (of course, last problem is LNK 1120). I tried it several times, because I don’t have many experiences with this sort of problems, and I wasn’t sure If I do something incorrect. Also, I find another tutorial for installation (https://github.com/keweili/feappv#compiling-and-installation-of-feappv-on-windows), but I had same result. I would be grateful for any kind of help.
I used visual studio community 2019 (version 16.11.11) with intel fortran compiler 2022.0.3. on windows 10.
Best regards, Patrik

Unresolved external, means that you have failed to add the subroutines to your project.  Those two in particular should be added to the library.

The bigger problem you are going to face is an error introduced into the Intel compiler recently.  You will need to use an older version; see http://feap.berkeley.edu/forum/index.php?topic=2584.msg11184#msg11184.  Secondary option is use the code under the Linux subsystem that you can install on your windows 10 computer.
