ifort with MingW

Sagan__David — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 19:29:14 GMT

I have to use the MingW environment for a project on Windows due to some compile scripts not being workable under Visual Studio. I would like to use ifort with MingW but I don't know how to set this up (Note: I already use ifort with VS). Is this possible? Thanks for any help.

Do you mean that you use C -

TimP — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 22:00:00 GMT

Do you mean that you use C - Fortran interoperability and wish to use gcc or g++ in place of ICL or C++? This seems to imply run-time library conflicts, as the Microsoft libraries are required by ifort.

On the other hand, if you use gnu make or a shell such as bash, that should be feasible to use with ifort/cl command line.

C - Fortran interoperability

Sagan__David — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 23:11:28 GMT

C - Fortran interoperability is needed eventually but for now I just want to be able to compile/link with ifort on the command line. Now if I type "which ifort" in MingW I get nothing so there is a setup that is needed and I am not able to find any information on the web on how to do this. Thanks for any help.

Start a normal ifort command

IanH — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 06:00:27 GMT

Start a normal ifort command prompt, then from within that command run x:\mingw\msys\1.0\msys.bat. That should have you running in an msys shell environment (is that what you mean by "the MinGW environment"?) with all the ifort environment variables set correctly.

If Ian's advice results in

TimP — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:08:11 GMT

If Ian's advice results in ifort picking the wrong link command, you can set the -Qlocation,link option for ifort to point to the Microsoft VC\bin or VC\bin\amd64 folder where their link.exe resides.

I hesitated to answer along the lines which Ian did because I didn't know what you meant by MinGW environment, and didn't want to ask too many off-topical details.

By "MinGW environment" I mean

Sagan__David — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:17:40 GMT

By "MinGW environment" I mean a shell running MinGW. In response to Ian's post, I start with a shell with ifort setup (the ifort command is reognized). One problem now is that there is no file I can find with a name that is close to "msys.bat" (I am running msys2 not msys). So instead I run C:\msys64\mingw64.exe which spawns a shell running MinGW. Now the problem is that the ifort command is not defined.

Now in the MinGW shell I use the following commands to setup ifort:

'/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE 2015/bin/ipsxe-comp-vars.bat' intel64 vs2010

export PATH=${PATH}:'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\bin\intel64'

But now using ifort the linking fails with "link: unknown option --s". I assume this is the linker picking the wrong link command as per Tim's comment. However I don't understand how to "set the -Qlocation,link option".

Anyone have any ideas? -- Thanks.

I guess there is a GNU link

andrew_4619 — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:46:28 GMT

I guess there is a GNU link.exe earlier in the PATH than the Ifort linker.

So... I think you are using

IanH — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 21:16:15 GMT

So... I think you are using mingw-w64 and want to work in an MSYS2 environment running the bash shell or similar. If so, as TimP suggests try something like:


>h:\msys64\usr\bin\bash.exe

No, the path set in location

TimP — Tue, 16 Aug 2016 22:05:00 GMT

No, the path set in location,link is the folder in the vs installation which contains link.exe. for intel64:

-Qlocation,link,"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\AMD64"

Thanks Ian and Tim. I found

Sagan__David — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 20:43:01 GMT

Thanks Ian and Tim. I found where the link.exe was but now I get a different error:

You need at least a LIB

Kevin_D_Intel — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 21:06:07 GMT

You need at least a LIB setting. You can get the needed details from an Intel compiler pre-initialized command-prompt. Command-prompt shortcuts are under a path like:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015\Compiler and Performance Libraries\Command Prompt with Intel Compiler XE v15.0 Update 1

Start the command-prompt for the Intel 64 environment and then just echo it with: echo %LIB%

OK that worked. Much thanks.

Sagan__David — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:18:46 GMT

OK that worked. Much thanks.

Procedure was:
On intel side:
echo %LIB%
On MingW side:
export LIB='stuff-from-intel-side'
