Compiling Global Arrays with Intel Compilers
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Dear Global Arrays Developers,
Thank you for the awesome software you have written and maintained. I successfully compiled global arrays with gcc. I am trying to now compile it with only intel compilers. I unpack the directory and run the autgen.sh. After that, I invoke the configure script with the following modifiers:
./configure --with-blas=-mkl --prefix=/home/richard/build/ga-master MPICXX=mpiicpc MPICC=mpiicc MPIF77=mpiifort CC=icc FC=ifort
Naturally, I have tried some variations on the above command line.
I have my .bashrc file calling the Intel compiler environment variable setting scripts.

The configure script let's me know that the C compiler cannot create an executable.
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

From the config.log, I see that a possible key issue is:
ld: cannot find -lstdc++
I am reluctant to bother a developer about a build problem but I have tried very hard to find a workaround. I built an old version of Global Arrays successfully with intel, but in the end I couldn't get all of the symbols resolved when compiling an application. Again, thank you for the awesome software and your maintenance thereof.
Best regards,
Rich
Thank you for your guidance. I am going to re-install the intel parallel studio and let you know what happens.
Okay! Yes, I knew this was something dumb that I had done.
When I installed gcc, I somehow did the install without g++. It was not the first thing that came to my mind because I thought the intel compilers would have their own libraries, but now I understand that the build process also depends on the GNU libraries.
Thank you again, and as always, the problem here was between the chair and the desk! :)
