Hi, I've installed Intel Visual Fortran Pro and am working on a visual studio project that has some C++ code that calls a few functions from fortran libraries. When I build the project initially it looks for LIBC.lib, which it can't open.
I've found the files on an old Powerstation 4.0 disc. 
So after installing the software on my computer, and point to the directory with the necessary libraries in it, i receive the second set of errors.
Microsoft Fortran PowerStation is a Shareware software in the category Desktop developed by Microsoft. It was checked for updates 63 times by the users of our client application UpdateStar during the last month. The latest version of Microsoft Fortran PowerStation is 4.0. Microsoft Fortran Power Station 4.0 Pro Serial Numbers. Convert Microsoft Fortran Power Station 4.0 Pro trail version to full software.
(both sets of errors are pasted below) Is there some way to set a default library to override other libraries in case functions are multiply defined? Thanks, Kevin ====================1st SET OF ERRORS=================== 1>------ Build started: Project: adsa1, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Linking. 1>LINK: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib' 1>Build log was saved at 'file://j: My Documents B02 - 20081227 UH Work - Zuo AdsaInterf 3.0 source Debug BuildLog.htm' 1>adsa1 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s) ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== ************************************************************************* ====================2nd SET OF ERRORS=================== 1>------ Build started: Project: adsa1, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Linking. On Windows, compilers usually add a set of 'directives' to the object file which tells the linker to pull in certain libraries. This is done so that you don't have to manually list the libraries. The library you are using would appear to have been built by or at least for Microsoft Fortran PowerStation, as some of the libraries you list are for that product. You cannot mix these objects with Intel Fortran.
Libc.lib is a Microsoft Visual C++ library that is not thread-safe. It was discontinued as of VS2005. While many of the symbols in libc.lib can be fulfilled by libcmt.lib (the thread-safe variant), the C/C++ compiler actually generates different code if you're using the thread-safe version (/MT is the switch), so you'll get link errors regardless. In the end, you cannot use this library with Intel Fortran - it requires Microsoft Fortran PowerStation (taken off the market 12 years ago).

Is there a way in VS2008 to default so that libcmtd.lib's definitions take precedence and all other library's function/variable definitions are ignored (if they happen to be duplicates)?
