    Hi,

    In the latest version of acuSolve 20.1, Acumakedll now supports Visual Studio 2017.

    You should try with that version of visual studio.

    Hi, thank you your replay,

    I'm using acuSolve 2019, I installed VS2017, but with no success,

    I get the same error,

    Do I have to use that UDF approach, or there is another way to create the sea wave?

    FYI - my pc OS is win10 64bit -

     

    Hopping for your help,

    One of the options to acuMakeDll (see the result of  acuMakeDll  -h) is:

    acuMakeDll: -cbat <str> full .bat path + argument to setup C environment
    acuMakeDll: c_setup_path_arg= _auto [default]

    On my Windows machine, this ends up being:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat

    Do you have that location in your VS2017 installation?  If so, try using the -cbat flag to point to that location.

    acuMakeDll  -src  wave.c  -cbat  C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat

    Note, you may need to type that out, as quotes may need to be added to support the spaces in the directory names...
