4.8.1.3. Step to create DLL at the Dos Command Prompt

The DLL of a RecurDyn user subroutine can be created at Dos Command Prompt level. In order to compile a source file into a DLL file, a working directory should be created containing the files listed below.

• Source

• files (*.for)

• Solver.lib, syscal.f (copied from RecurDyn USUB folder)

• dfordll.lib, dfconsol.lib, dfport.lib (copied from Fortran Library Folder)

Step to compile DLL

1. Run Dos Command Prompt.

2. Create a working directory that contains the necessary files see above.

3. Run f90 /dll myfile.for solver.lib (if the source file name is myfile.for)

Step to compile DLL (Intel compiler)

1. Run Command Prompt in “Parallel Studio XE with Intel Compiler Ver.”

2. Create a working directory that contains the necessary files see above.

3. Run ifort /dll myfile.for solver.lib (if the source file name is myfile.for)
