Hello everyone
I tried to compile lammps (19th July 2011 release) on visual C++ based on
the instructions given. Firstly I compiled STUBS and then Lammps-standard.
At the end of the compilation I get the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'mkl_c_dll.lib'

Please suggest me a solution regarding this issue.

i don't know anything about windows, but this looks like your
linker is looking for the c bindings of the intel mkl library and
cannot find it. not sure why you would need that, though.

Thanks Dr Kohlmeyer. I’m also not sure about this mkl library requirement in vc++. I compiled lammps on ubuntu without this type of issue.

This is not a visual c++ issue directly, but rather an issue of the makefile or project file that you are using. You have to find somebody with experience in developing on windows to sort this out. I am not this person.

If you are having problems using the recently released Vis Studio
project files for Windows and loading LAMMPS source files
into Vis Studio, so you can build it there ... then
please contact Ilya Valuev (valuev at physik.hu-berlin.de)
who created that content.

Yes, it is latest version of lammps. Thanks a lot for the contact information
