Configuring Microsoft Visual Studio* for Mixed-Language Applications

Configuring Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 or 2019

NOTE: If you are using a C/C++ main program with a Fortran static or dynamic library as a dependent project, you must explicitly provide the path to the Fortran library, (the .lib export library in the case of a DLL project), in the C/C++ project's Linker > Additional Dependencies property, or as a "source file" in the project. If your C++ project references ISO_Fortran_binding.h, also add libifcoremd.lib to Additional Dependencies.

NOTE:  If your Fortran project has a dependent C/C++ DLL project, you must explicitly provide the path to the C++ project's DLL export library (.lib) in the Fortran project's Linker > Additional Dependencies property, or as a "source file" in the project.
