external compiler support: Intel icl11

[Wolfgang]

Hi,

Today I have ordered the Intel C Compiler, which by now is version 11. CVI provides templates for icl 8.1, 9 and 10. Does anyone know about possible differences in the setup procedure between 10 and 11? (So far I have never used an external optimizing compiler)

Thanks,

Wolfgang - and happy holidays

Hi Wolfgang,

in general it’s possible, to use the Intel C Compiler Version 11 in CVI.
You have to create your own configuration file.
Use the configuration of the Intel C Compiler Version 10 as template.

Follow these steps:

Choose in CVI: Options -> Build Options -> Compiler for released configuration
Set “New”
Name your configuration e.g. “Intel C++ 11.0”
Create a destination file (*.ecc)
When confirming the dialog, a new pop up will appear named “Compiler for released configuration”
Choose the option “Edit”
Modify the file for the Intel C Compiler Version 11.

Kind regards

Now that I have installed the Intel compiler I can confirm that it is indeed possible to use it as an external compiler in CVI. One has to manually configure the path, and of course the command line options.
