Compiling FFTW source in Visual studio

Question

Recently I am trying to compile the source code of FFTW in Visual studio 2010. I followed the instruction from the FFTW website. I downloaded the source code fftw-3.3.2.zip

Answer 1

It seems that it can be solved without installing the Windows 7.1 SDK

1. Right click on the 'libfftw-3.3' project and selected properties
2. Go to Configuration Properties -> General
3. Switch 'Platfrom Toolset' from 'Windows7.1SDK' to 'v100'
4. Recompile

Works for the projects 'libfftwf-3.3' and 'libfftw-3.3'

The project 'bench' and 'benchf' are failing to build:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '....\libbench2\aligned-main.c': No such file or directory

Can be solved by removing the aligned-main.c from both projects.

You can also use CMake - I created this CMake file for fftw-3.3.2 which I tested with Visual Studio 2010 x64: https://bitbucket.org/Vertexwahn/cmakedemos/src/670f189321d89dbd61ddc8c446c91578305f9da2/fftw-3.3.2/CMakeLists.txt?at=default

You also need this config.h file: https://bitbucket.org/Vertexwahn/cmakedemos/src/670f189321d89dbd61ddc8c446c91578305f9da2/fftw-3.3.2/config.h?at=default
