Hello everyone,
I'm new to Intel Visual Fortran recently, and getting some troubles when using it.
Currently I need to design a small program that can plot simple shapes (points, lines, dot lines, add words etc.) onto files and output them into picture format (jpg/png/gif). It is NOT necessary to view these files in some output window, but just saving them onto disk is OK for me.
I searched in Google and found a library called "PLPlot" that can help me with this task. However, I'm getting into troubles during the procedure. My currect OS is XP, with VS 2010 and IVF 2011.
1) I downloaded someone's builed PLPlot library, which contains static library (.lib) files and three module files (.mod), so I included their path in "project property->General->Additional Include Directory" and "Property->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories", and directly using "CALL FUNCTIONNAME" in main.f.
But I got "ERROR LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _FUNCTIONNAME referenced in _MAIN".
I checked it up in the user manual and lots of online documents, but I can't find a standard example or tutorial for USING STATIC LIBRARY in Intel Visual Fortran, so I don't know if anything is missing.
Is there anyone can write me a simple example of CALLING FUNCTIONS from static library and modules?
2) I need to check if the downloaded builded library works fine or not. If it works not so properly (after I follow the correct steps from question (1)) then I need to compile the library again myself or try other library. Is there any build-in library functions in Intel Visual Fortran to help me accomplish my task?
I appreciate your help.
Thank you a lot!
