wrong MKL compiler flag for Intel?

[Karl Irikura]

Dear DIRAC experts,

I'm building DIRAC25 on a local workstation that has Intel oneapi 2025.2 installed but getting the error:

icx: error: unknown argument '-mkl=parallel'; did you mean '-qmkl=parallel'?

I tried

./setup --fc=ifx --cc=icx --cxx=icx --mkl=parallel --extra-cc-flags="-qmkl=parallel" --extra-cxx-flags="-qmkl=parallel"

but that did not work. 

I have looked at files and at documentation for autocmake but cannot figure out how to change the flag from "-mkl=" to "-qmkl=".  I would be grateful for any advice. I am (probably obviously) inexperienced with compilers. 

Thanks,

Karl

Hello Karl,

Would you please send the whole setup stdout+stderr output to see in detail what is going wrong ?

Best regards,

Miro

Hello again,

I installed Intel compilers   inteloneapi-2025.3  on my notebook (WSL2-Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS), see https://github.com/miroi/open-collection/tree/master/computer_science/compilers/intel-oneapi/wsl2_Victus_notebook

and got DIRAC successfully compiled, see https://github.com/miroi/open-collection/tree/master/theoretical_chemistry/software/dirac/buildup_on_servers/wsl2/wsl_notebook/intel_mkl .
