compiling with Intel compiler fails

[Jan Strube]

I'm trying to install julia from source using the Intel compilers.

icc --version

icc (ICC) 16.0.1 20151021

Copyright (C) 1985-2015 Intel Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Unfortunately, I don't get very far :

  CC       src/unix/libuv_la-proctitle.lo

  GEN      src/unix/uv-dtrace.o

gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-static-intel’

"gcc /tmp/tmpKDA11o.c" failed

I'm on 'release-0.4'

Has anybody else encountered this?

Hi Jan,

looks like Intel options are being passed to gcc. Perhaps your libuv configuration is stale? You could try `make -C deps distclean-uv`

Keno,

Thanks. The command you suggested doesn't quite work. It's -libuv, not -uv.

I was on a new clone. Ran 'make -C deps distclean-libuv'  anyway, but no go. 

Neither on release-0.4 nor on master.

However, your comment made me look further.

Somewhere the variables aren't set properly in the Makefile.

'CC=icc make' does indeed work, but the resulting libuv still has a gcc dependency. Not sure yet if that causes a problem.

You also need to set the USEICC Makefile variable.

[Jan Strube]

Sorry, should have mentioned I had followed the instructions on the github page and this in my Make.user

USEICC = 1

USEIFC = 1

USE_INTEL_MKL = 1

USE_INTEL_MKL_FFT = 1

USE_INTEL_LIBM = 1

Still needed the CC=icc for things to work.
