Hi Laurent,<br><br>This is what I did. As mentioned by you, I configured gmsh in CMAKE with visual studio 2008 (win 64) compiler. I disabled BLOSSOM and FLTK and gave the appropriate paths for BLAS and LAPACK libraries (I am using BLAS and LAPACK libraries which comes along with Intel Compiler). I was able to build static and dynamic libraries both. But when I linked them with my application, I got following run time error:<br>
<br>Gmsh.lib(GmshMessage.obj): error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol send<br>Gmsh.lib(GmshMessage.obj): error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol WSAStartup<br>Gmsh.lib(GmshMessage.obj): error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol WSACleanup<br>

Gmsh.lib(GmshMessage.obj): error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol select<br>Gmsh.lib(OS.obj): error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol gethostname<br><br>Well, I observed that these functions are available in the code, but still wondering why my application is not able to link them. Is there any pre-processor to be defined before compiling? Or is it because I'm trying to build gmsh for 64-bit windows machine?<br>

Hi Rakesh, <br>
<br>
You can compile gmsh without any external lib. But Blas/Lapack is
mandatory for 3D meshing if i'm not wrong and opencascade for CAD
geo files.<br>

Thanks for your reply. Just before compiling the nightly build, I
wanted to know the minimum supporting libraries required to
compile gmsh as a .lib file. (such as blas, lapack etc). What
other libraries I need to have before compiling it as a static
library?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
<br>

I corrected the source for msvc. It compile if you uncheck
blossom and fltk. There is also a project shared for the dll
version.<br>
Download nightly source tomorrow.<br>

Gmsh can be built as a .lib for sure under MSVC 2008.
Generate your project with cmake, uncheck FLTK in
cmake and build the lib project to obtain a library.
(.lib)<br>
The ENABLE_MSVC_STATIC_RUNTIME is used to switch
between /MD and /MT.<br>
To obtain a dll file you may change the output
configuration type of the gmsh project to dll instead
of exe (not the lib project).<br>
<br>

PS: up to date svn version does not built on msvc
2008, some fixes are needed. Download an older
version.<br>

Can gmsh be compiled as static library (.lib) and
dynamic library(.dll) file? If so what is the
procedure? I want to test it with both 32bit and
64bit mode on windows 7 64bit OS, with visual studio
2008 and CMAKE. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
