Precompiled Windows Binaries

The binary files in this release were built with the Visual Studio solution files distributed with OpenFAST (not using cmake), using

• Intel Fortran compiler 2021.12 (p_oneAPI_2024.1.0.595) with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 (C), for build in Matlab
• MATLAB Version: 2024.2.999 (R2024b)
• Executables with _OpenMP or _OMP in the name are built with OpenMP libraries and linked with dynamic libraries.
  • You will need this Intel Fortran redistributable package installed to use these executables if you do not already have Intel Fortran OneAPI 2024 installed. See the installation instructions here.
  • You may also need a redistributable library for Visual Studio installed. See instructions here.

The other OpenFAST executables DO NOT require these redistributable libraries to be installed. Instead, they were built with static libraries.
