Compiler and Linker Options

Most of the compiler and linker options can be specified within the Microsoft visual development environment or on the command line. This section contains a description of the options available to you in building programs.

You can set compiler options from:

• Within the visual development environment, by using the Fortran tab in the Project menu, Settings dialog box.
• The DF command line. Compiler options must precede the /LINK option.

Unless you specify certain options, the DF command line will both compile and link the files you specify. To compile without linking, specify the /compile_only (or equivalent) option.

After the /LINK option on the DF command line, you can specify linker options. Linker options and any libraries specified get passed directly to the linker, such as /NODEFAULTLIB. If you choose to use separate compile and link commands, you can also specify linker options on a separate LINK command.
