[MPICH] RE: Installation of MPICH2 - create an empty proj and add source files

[Jayesh Krishna]

Hi,
 Are you sure that you selected a "Console application" when you created
your project ?
 When creating a project I usually select "File" --> "New" --> "Project" -->
"Visual C++" --> "General" --> "Empty project" . Then I add the required
source files to the project and set the lib/header file [paths]
appropriately.

Regards,
Jayesh

Dear Jayesh,

Thank you for your help...
I changed the configuration according to your advice.
But, I still cannot succeed to build my code. 
Error messages are as follows....

How can I fix this problem?
My compiler is 'MS Visual C++ 2008 Express edition'.
Please let me know what I have to do.....
Thank you...

Sincerely,

JaeHyuk Kwack
