FEAPpv Visual studio debug option

[pchidamb]

Hi
I received the following msg from FEAP admin...

"We have never figured out how to build a debug version with Visual Studio.
For debug, we always use Linux or Cygwin with GDB.
Sincerely,
FEAP Admin"
...
I am able to build debug version in Windows 7/64 bit m/c - 32 bit environment/ intel fortran 11.0.066.
I used the following option:
Fortran->Run-time-> Check array and string bounds->No
I tested the example file IEx1.dat and get the identical results of Release build.
FYI.

Previous problems were internal compile errors, which must now be fixed?

Taylor:
I got run-time error and hence I changed the flag in Fortran->Run-time option in visual studio IDE.
For completeness let me give my compile/ link options:
Compile option:
/nologo /debug:full /Od /I"<ROOTDIR>\Projects\FEAPpvLib\include"
/I"<ROOTDIR>\Projects\FEAPpvLib\include\integer4"
/module:"Debug\\" /object:"Debug\\" /traceback /libs:qwin /dbglibs /c

Linker option:
/OUT:"Debug\FEAPpvRLT.exe" /INCREMENTAL:NO
/NOLOGO /MANIFEST
/MANIFESTFILE:"<ROOTDIR>\Projects\FEAPpvRLT\debug\feappvrlt.exe.intermediate.manifest"
/DEBUG /PDB:"<ROOTDIR>\Projects\FEAPpvRLT\debug\feappvrlt.pdb"
/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS
/IMPLIB:"<ROOTDIR>\Projects\FEAPpvRLT\debug\feappvrlt.lib"

You probably need the integer8, however, when you use a debug option you need to set the flag in the compiler for no array bound checking.  That is probably what caused the run time error.  Manuals inform you about this -- see the feap installation manual.
