[raghu mohan]

I followed the steps posted by amir here:
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/blo...fluent-vc.html

to compile udf. I have fluent 6.3.26 and MSVC++ 2008 express (which has visual studio 9.0, which consists of INCLUDE and LIB folder).

when I compile UDF fluent gives these commands:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Deleted old libudf\ntx86\3d\libudf.dll
1 file(s) copied.
(system "copy C:\Fluent.Inc\fluent6.3.26\src\makefile_nt.udf libudf\ntx86\3d\makefile")
1 file(s) copied.
(chdir "libudf")()
(chdir "ntx86\3d")()

Done.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

When I load UDF I get these commands:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"c:/users/raghu mohan reddy/desktop/gambit tut"

Opening library "libudf"...
Error: open_udf_library: The system cannot find the file specified.

Error Object: ()
------------------------------------------------------------------

The log file in the libudf file created shows this:
----------------------------------------------------------
NMAKE : U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\cl.EXE"' : return code '0xc0000135'
Stop.
-----------------------------------------------------

Please help me in this issue

Thank You,

Raghu,
If you are using a 64 bit machine,
(a) download and install Microsoft Windows SDK v.7.1
(b) set the FLUENT environment variables
(c) open Windows SDK v.7.1 command prompt and type 'fluent'. You'll get the FLUENT launcher.

Try compiling now and see.

Thank You very much for your suggestion.

With the help of first two steps (a,b) itself the compiling and loading worked out well. I just copied one of the libraries necessary for compiling from SDK library to VS10 library.

I am posting how the above problm got solved here (May be a solution for 64-bit machine users only):


Actually I figured out VC++2008 which I was using was not compiling even as simple program in my PC, So I installed the VS2010 and ran a simple program and it was compiling and running good.

Then I changed the system variables as suggested by the Amir's link (I gave in 1st post).

Even though I was suffering with compatability issues bcoz Fluent I installed has Windows Xp compatability mode ON. I turned it OFF. (Error in Fluent:'IDB' is illegal extension for PDB file)

Then came another Error: " LINK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib' " . I just copied this library from Program Files (X86)--->MS SDKs---->Windows----->v7.0A--->Lib-->Kernel32 and pasted in MSVS10.0-->VC-->lib

That's it done. Thanks for reading.

Thank You,
Raghu

hai mr.ragu
i have same problem while compile my udf.
actually i m using win 7 64bit.
could u pls send me microsoft windows sdk v.7.1?
(hareesh.aero@gmail.com)

very thanks......
also one doubt, for my dynamic mesh problem i need udf,for compiling shall i need both visual studio c++ and microsoft windows sdk v.7.1?
thanks

[raghu mohan]

hi,
Sorry for the late reply. Are you done with the problem you had?

[raghu mohan]

Actually I downloaded the MSVS from MS Dream Spark so they gave me whole package which consists of Microsoft SDK V7.0A. If you want that folder I will try to send you.

I don't know exactly whether both of them(sdk and vc++) are required to compile UDF but as I have copied a file ("kernel32") from MS sdk folder to MSVS library I am guessing that both are needed.

Thanks,
Raghu

hai
i have downladed as u told but in working with command prompt error shows and shows x64compiler not installed in ur system
could u pls rectify my problem?

[raghu mohan]

I don't know much of this. But I will try to give you information based on the way I did it. Also, it is better if you post this separately on the discussion forum so that others can help you.

Coming to your problem, Are you talking about the command prompt opened from MSVS or opened in normal way. Can you please let me know more details what you r doing. I think you have downloaded the MSVS for 32-bit(x64). It is x86(64-bit) which you need to download.

Thanks,
Raghu
