IMSL Include File and Library Naming Conventions and Redistribution (Windows* OS)

The IMSL* libraries provide sets of "include" files. By default, the standard set is installed at the following locations:

C:\Program Files\VNI\imsl\fnl600\IA32\include\dll (for systems using IA-32 architecture)
C:\Program Files\VNI\imsl\fnl600\Intel64\include\dll (for systems using Intel® 64 architecture)

The standard set is suitable for use when linking against either the static or dynamic libraries; however, some applications linking to the static libraries may see warnings from the linker due to the use of the DLLIMPORT directive for IMSL global variables. The warnings can be ignored, but if you want to avoid them, use the alternate set of "include" files in the include\ static folder.

The following libraries are supplied:

File Name	Library Description
IMSL and IMSL_DLL	IMSL Static and DLL Library; contains application-callable routines
IMSLMKL_DLL	IMSL DLL Library using Intel® Math Kernel Library; contains application-callable routines
IMSLS_ERR	IMSL Error Handler Library; scalar version
IMSLP_ERR	IMSL Error Handler Library, MPI version
IMSL_HPC_L	LAPACK enabled routines
IMSL_HPC_S	ScalaPACK enabled routines
IMSLSCALAR	Support routines
IMSLSUPERLU	Support routines
IMSLMPISTUB	Stub libraries
IMSLSPARSESTUB	Stub libraries
IMSLBLAS	Basic Linear Algebra Subroutine support library

For applications running on systems using IA-32 architecture, use the following combinations of libraries and compiler options:

Static linking	`IMSL.LIB IMSLSUPERLU.LIB IMSLSCALAR.LIB IMSLBLAS.LIB IMSLS_ERR.LIB IMSLMPISTUB.LIB`
Dynamic linking	`IMSL_DLL.LIB /libs:dll`
Static linking, using Intel® Math Kernel Library for multiple processors	`IMSL.LIB IMSLSUPERLU.LIB IMSLHPC_L.LIB IMSLS_ERR.LIB IMSLMPISTUB.LIB MKL_INTEL_C.LIB MKL_INTEL_THREAD.LIB MKL_CORE.LIB LIBIOMP5MD.LIB`

For applications running on systems using Intel® 64 architecture, use the following combinations of libraries:

Static linking	`IMSL.LIB IMSLSUPERLU.LIB IMSLSCALAR.LIB IMSLBLAS.LIB IMSLS_ERR.LIB IMSLMPISTUB.LIB`
Dynamic linking	`IMSL_DLL.LIB /LIBS:DLL`

Static linking, using scalar version of the error handler and Intel® Math Kernel Library for multiple processors	`IMSL.LIB IMSLSUPERLU.LIB IMSLHPC_S.LIB IMSLS_ERR.LIB MKL_SCALAPACK_LP64.LIB MKL_BLACS_MPICH2_LP64.LIB MKL_INTEL_LP64.lib MKL_INTEL_THREAD.LIB MKL_CORE.LIB LIBIOMP5MD.LIB IMPI.LIB`

The tables above document the libraries which must be redistributed with your IMSL application for it to function properly.

If your program is linked to any of the IMSL or Intel MKL DLLs, the folder containing the DLLs must be included in the definition of the PATH environment variable, or the DLLs must be in the same folder as the application .EXE file. See the table above for the names of IMSL and Intel MKL DLLs to accompany your application.

If your application is linked against the static IMSL libraries, no additional IMSL files need to be distributed along with your application. However, you may still need to distribute Intel® Fortran DLLs that are not provided in static library form, such as libiomp5md.dll.

Please refer to the IMSL End-User License Agreement for your rights and limitations regarding distribution of applications that use the IMSL library.
