User and Reference Guide for the Intel® Fortran Compiler 14.0
The following applies to Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010 and 2008.
This topic is an outline of the basic steps needed for using the Intel® Fortran Compiler with Microsoft Visual Studio*.
Start Microsoft Visual Studio* from the Start > All Programs menu, choosing Microsoft Visual Studio* 2008 or Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010 as desired.
In the Start Page, select Create Project.
In Project Types, select Intel® Visual Fortran.
Choose the type of project you want to create. Choose Console Application for a typical Fortran application.
Specify whether you want to create an Empty Project or Main Program Code.
Enter the name of your project and select the location where it should be created. Choose OK
For more information on creating projects, see Creating a New Project.
To build the application, select Build > Build Solution. Any errors will be displayed in the Output Window. Double-click on a message to go to the line in error.
To run without debugging, select Debug > Start Without Debugging. The console window will remain open after the program exits until you press Enter.
To run under the debugger, first set a breakpoint at the first executable line of the program by clicking in the gray column to the left of the source line. Then select Debug > Start. If the program exits normally, the console window will be closed automatically.
For information on converting projects from Compaq* Visual Fortran to Intel® Fortran, see Converting Projects.
On-disk documentation is available in Visual Studio* by selecting Help > Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2013 > Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2013 Help.
You can request documentation on Fortran language features, including library routines, using context-sensitive help in the Visual Studio* IDE. In a source window, position the cursor on a language keyword (for example, INTEGER or CONTAINS) or a library routine (for example, DATE_AND_TIME or SIGNALQQ) and press the F1 key. This displays the appropriate topic in the on-disk documentation.
Similarly, dialog boxes and property pages that are specific to the Intel® Fortran compiler offer context-sensitive help that is accessed by pressing the F1 key.
