Could guys help me on a boost MPI link error
Hi All I have built boost binary library on my PC workstation in windows 10 using VS 2017 for boost 1.65.1 successfully for application of MPI in my project. I had a simple test for MPI which worked perfectly. So I moved to a further test using boost example "odeint-v2/examples/mpi/phase_chain.cpp", which is applied to solve ODE with MPI capacity. When I tried to build the project, it gives me an error Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error LNK1112 module machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' MPI-test2 C:\Users\renfanluo\source\repos\MPI-test2\MPI-test2\libboost_mpi-vc141-mt-1_65_1.lib(environment.obj) 1 I googled, then I went to properties->Linker->Advanced->Target Machine, changed to "MachineX86 (/MACHINE:X86)", then rebuild the project, now the error changes to Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error LNK1112 module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'x86' MPI-test2 C:\Users\renfanluo\source\repos\MPI-test2\MPI-test2\x64\Release\MPItest2.obj 1 So this shows that simply changing the target machine setting in VS will not work. Could you guys give me some indications of how to fix this problem. Best regards Renfan

You have more than one problem (apparently) related to mixing 32 and 64 bit binaries. You don't state what you would like to have as a binary, 32 or 64 bit, but you should decide and then verify that all your to be linked in libraries are all in that bitness. Then I suggest you just create a new project from scratch (copy the source files from the old project into the new project), respecting the bitness. i.e. choose Win32 or x64 from the pull-down menu at the top of the IDE. This seems a bit drastic, but you'll save yourself the trouble of debugging your project (for a 5 minute job). Once you've got a working project I suggest you create a project template from that, so in the future a new project can be generated from that template (in seconds). Just do the google or checkout f.e. this https://blog.jayway.com/2015/03/13/visual-studio-how-to-create-a-solution-te... or this https://rehansaeed.com/custom-visual-studio-project-templates/ (just some results that popped up doing some duckin). Hope that helps, degski
