Hello!
I'm building a Fortran Windows DLL with the Intel Fortran Compiler XE 13.1 integrated in MS Visual Studio 2012. This DLL will be part of a Windows application developed in association with a third party. However, we experience some problems concerning the DLL after installing the application (version conflicts, error messages saying 'DLL not found', ...). So, I have a few questions:
1. Would it be possible build the DLL statically linked with the required Windows DLL's and just copy 'my' DLL to the target system? Would this be a wise thing to do? What compiler settings are required then?
2. I know there are some merge modules available in the 'redist' folder of Composer XE 2013. I assume the .msm file to use is dependent on the target system (32 or 64 bit)? Can these modules be applied to Windows XP as well?
3. Would it be possible to copy the required Windows DLL's manually? If so, which DLL's are required?
I hope your answers will get me on the right track...
Many thanks in advance,
Jan
