Error during installation in Windows
« on: September 28, 2023, 01:30:11 PM »
Dear Professor/s,
I tried installing FEAP 8.6 in Windows Machine using Visual Studio 2019. I followed the instructions given at http://feap.berkeley.edu/forum/index.php?topic=2580.msg11161#msg11161 , where i get the following error while trying to build the solution

Quote
Creating library...
xilib: error #10037: could not find 'lib'
Lib: error spawn_errno_default: spawn('D:\compiler\2023.2.0\windows\bin\Intel64\xilink.exe') failed, errno=0

Then, I tried following the steps as per the Installation guide video where I tried adding the files manually to Visual Studio. Again, I faced the same error as above. Please help me rectify if I am making a mistake in some specific step which has caused this error as I am new to feap and fortran.

Regards,
Jay

I wonder if your compiler is set up correctly.
Try writing a short Fortran program and see if you
can successfully compile and run it.

Also what OS are you using?

There are some small suggestions in the following thread: https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-C-Compiler/11-0-066-xilib-error-10037-could-not-find-lib/td-p/886286

Thank you for responding
I am using windows 11.
I downloaded Visual Studio Community 2019. Then, I downloaded Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel oneApi HPC Toolkit. After installing and integrating these toolkits with Visual Studio 2019, I tried the steps according to http://feap.berkeley.edu/forum/index.php?topic=2580.msg11161#msg11161 ,which resulted in what is shown in the 1st attachment.
Then, I installed Fortran Compiler stand alone version assuming it might help, this time I was able to scan the files. But when I tried to build the solution, I had what is shown in attachment 2. This is when I posted my initial question.
I tried re-installing the Visual Studio 2019 again, and now I am back to the first error as in attachment 1.
I am very new to using these softwares, hence it might be a bit demanding of me to ask you for a detailed solution for my issue. But, it would be of great help if you help me get these basic issues sorted out.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Jay

From the screen shots you have posted it looks like your installation is not correct.
I suggest removing VS and the compiler and start over.  The Intel oneAPI instructions
need to be followed in the precise order given.  Also make sure that you get the
download for the Fortran.

Until you can create a Fortran project, build it, and run it, there is no point in trying to
build FEAP.
