I had the similar compiling problems on 64 bit Windows Vista with Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0.

The final solution that worked for me is easy. You don't touch any system and environment variables or change any default settings or installation folders (at least by hand)

Step 1: Launch "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt" which is under All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 > Visual Studio Tools (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/76712d27.aspx)

Step 2: Run vcvarsall.bat from this command prompt. This file is most probaly at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x4d2c09s.aspx)

Step 3. Run fluent from this command prompt. It will work fine..

Hi Kirlangic,

I'm experiencing the same problems: 2-6. I'm using xp 64 bit and MS visual studio 9.0. I have followed your steps but still couldn't resolve the issue. I'm wondering perhaps it is my UDF that has problem. Could you please try to compile the following UDF in your computer and see whether it works? Also, do I need a header file for the compilation process? If yes, do I copy it from the fluent6.3.26\src\ folder?

here is my UDF:

#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_PROFILE(inlet_temperature,t,i)
{real time;face_t f;
begin_f_loop(f,t)
{time=CURRENT_TIME;if(time<2)
F_PROFILE(f,t,i)=300;else
F_PROFILE(f,t,i)=340;
}end_f_loop(f,t)}

Many thanks.

Hi all

Same here, I followed your steps. However, the error still occurred.
I am using OS windows xp 64 bit and MS visual C 2010.
Here is my steps:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC>vcvarsall.bat
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x86 tools.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC>C:\Fluent.Inc\ntbin\win64
\fluent.exe -r6.3.26

Many thanks
Regards,

I upgraded my FLUENT to v12 and problem solved. No more UDF compiling issue.
