This looks like you do not link against the ipopt library.
It's difficulty to say without seeing the command line that calls the 
linker.

Never.

I never used Visual Studio. For Windows I compiled it in MinGW 
(unix-like shell), where one can use the buildsystem that comes with Ipopt.
First HSL, Lapack, and Blas should be build (I guess, that this is 
FortranLinAlg), then the ipopt library.

Please also send to the Ipopt-mailing list, so that also Visual Studio 
experts can help you on your problems ;-).

I want to install the ipopt using Visual Studio  on Windows, so I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 .NET , Microsoft Platform SDK and the Intel Visual Fortran Compier 9.0 firstly. I also set the compiling environment regarding to the the Readme  file  in the folder VisualStudio_dotNET.  I found that there are seven projects in the folder VisualStudio_dotNET.  According to the project dependencies in the Visual Studio, I think the build order of the seven projects should be  hs071_f, ipopt,  FortranLinAlg ,  ScalableProblems, hs071_cpp, hs071_c, CppExample,   so I decide to build the hs071_f firstly. However, I encunter the following  errors when building the hs071_f ( a Fortran Project):
