[TRNSYS-users] Problem with the demanded compiler

[David Bradley]

Artemi,
  I am supposing that you are using TRNSYS 16. In this case, the usual 
procedure for generating new components is as follows:

1. create a new Proforma in the Studio with all of the correct 
parameters, inputs, and outputs. Save the proforma somewhere in the 
..\Trnsys16_1\Studio\Proformas\ directory.
2. select "Export as... Fortran" from the File menu.

this second step does a lot of things. First, it generates a template of 
the component code with the correct input / output structure and saves 
it as a file called TypeXXX.for (in which XXX is the Type number that 
you selected). Second, it generates a Compaq Visual Fortran workspace 
with all the settings correct for generating a new external DLL for use 
with TRNSYS. If your paths are correct in the Studio, CVF Fortran will 
then be launched. Of they aren't you can manually browse to find the 
project that was created (TypeXXX.dsw). The workspace will reference all 
of the correct TRNSYS files. More complete instructions can be found in 
the 08-Programmer's Guide manual.

 From what you write, it sounds as though you are trying to use the 
command line version of the compiler and not its graphical interface. I 
would highly recommend using the interface as it provides a great deal 
of help in debugging new components.
Kind regards,
 David
