Specifying Project Types with DF Command Options

This section provides the DF command options that correspond to the visual development environment project types.

When creating an application, you should choose a project type. The first four projects are main project types, requiring main programs:

To create a Fortran Console Application with the DF command, you do not need to specify any options (if you link separately, specify the link option /subsystem:console). This is the default project type created.
To create a Fortran Standard Graphics Application with the DF command, specify the /libs=qwins option (which also sets certain linker options).
To create a Fortran QuickWin Application with the DF command, specify the /libs:qwin option (which also sets certain linker options).
To create a Fortran Windows Application with the DF command, specify the /winapp option (which also sets certain linker options).

To create a Fortran COM Server, you must use Developer Studio (see Creating COM Servers); you cannot create a Fortran COM Server project type with the DF command.

The following types are library projects, without main programs:

To create a Fortran Dynamic-Link Library with the DF command, specify the /dll option (sets the /libs:dll option).
To create a Fortran Static library with the DF command:
- If your application will not call any QuickWin or Standard Graphics routines, specify /libs:static and /compile_only options to create the object files. Use the LIB command to create the library (see Managing Libraries with LIB).
- If your application will call QuickWin routines, specify /libs:qwin and /compile_only options to create the object files. Use the LIB command to create the library (see Managing Libraries with LIB).
- If your application will call Standard Graphics routines, specify /libs:qwins and /compile_only options to create the object files. Use the LIB command to create the library (see Managing Libraries with LIB).
