.inc, .dll, .a, .lib in Plato

Dear all,

I have to compile a project that, in addition to several fortran files, needs some other files as the include, dll libraries and so on. I followed the instructions but I got a bit lost, so I would like to know

• in which folders I should put the various files in order to be accepted by the system, and
• how I should include them in Plato to be recognized by the compiler.

Thanks, Luca

In theory you can put the source file anywhere but it is better to put the Fortran source files in one folder together with the Plato project file.

Fortran sorce files must be added to the project via the Project Explorer Window. 'Include' files are then automatically loaded by Plato and can be seen in the Project Explorer Wndow. Do not add the 'include' files yourself.

DLLs and LIBs are added via the Project Explorer Window. You can use the 'Properties' of these libraries to provide local copies etc.

Hi, thank you!

Are there any options in the properties which I have to be careful of? (in relation to the inclusion of .inc, .dll and .lib files)

No not really.
