Usually if you get an error about missing libraries or you get linking errors in the .lib files, it means the compiler/linker does not have all of its environment variables specified correctly. You can either specify those variables in the “set compiler internal variables” section of the Compile\_FAST.bat file from FAST v7.01.00a-bjj (that you commented out), or just run the Compile\_FAST.bat script from your compiler’s command window (there is usually a link somewhere like this: Start/All Programs/Intel Software Development/Intel Compiler/Visual Fortran Build Environment for IA-32). If that seems to be properly specified, you may want to see if the compiler documentation has any useful advice for running from the command prompt.

I suggest you start with the original Compile\_FAST.bat from FAST v7.01.00a-bjj archive. If you do so, you will not have to make all the changes from Tobias Wehran’s post.
