Compiling udf in visual studio: unresolved external symbol

ghost82 · May 22, 2015, 12:23

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile some codes into a udf in visual studio 2010 (I tried also 2013 version) in win7 64bit os (I need to compile the udf externally to fluent).
I'm able to compile and link the libudf.dll for 3d and 3ddp, but not for 3ddp_host and 3ddp_node, so I am able to run simulations only in serial.

In both these cases I have errors when the dll is generated, I think due to external libraries.

Error codes are LNK2019 and LNK2001, and all are related to the external symbol "__imp_mphost_to_node_xxx".

I was thinking this is into fl1610.lib (for 3ddp_host) which I included during linking with link /libpath:"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v161\fluent\fluent16.1.0\win64\3ddp_host" fl1610.lib

Anybody knows how to solve this problem?

Thank you

Update: no problems in compiling parallel versions for fluent v.15.0.0.
So the problem is related to new fl1610.lib (3ddp_host) and fl_mpi1610.lib (3ddp_node).
Anybody knows if anything has changed for functions node_to_host and PRF_GSYNC_WITH_HOST in these libs?

Problem solved

I needed to add more libraries to the LIBS variable (mport.lib) into the makefile!
