Right uncluding in QT (linux mageia)

Ivan_T_1 — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 18:46:09 GMT

Hello.
I downloaded "l_ipp_7.1.1.117_intel64". I installed them. But when i tried to used this library with example from "User's Guide" - "Building your first application" - i had Errors: undefined reference to 'ipplnit', 'ippiGetLibVersion', 'ippGetEnableCpuFeatures'.
I did this in QT qreator 2.6.0. How i could include libraries right?

P.S. Sorry for my poor english and knowlege.

#include "ipp.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
const IppLibraryVersion *lib;
Ipp64u fm;
ippInit();
//Automatic best static dispatch
//ippInitCpu(ippCpuSSSE3);
//Select a specific static library level
//Can be useful for debugging/profiling
//Get version info
lib = ippiGetLibVersion();
printf("%s %s\n", lib->Name, lib->Version);
//Get CPU features enabled with selected library level
fm=ippGetEnabledCpuFeatures();
printf("SSE2 %c\n",(fm>>2)&1?'Y':'N');
printf("SSE3 %c\n",(fm>>3)&1?'Y':'N');
printf("SSSE3 %c\n",(fm>>4)&1?'Y':'N');
printf("SSE41 %c\n",(fm>>6)&1?'Y':'N');
printf("SSE42 %c\n",(fm>>7)&1?'Y':'N');
printf("AVX %c OS Enabled %c\n", (fm>>8)&1 ?'Y':'N', (fm>>9)&1 ?'Y':'N');
printf("AES %c CLMUL %c\n", (fm>>10)&1?'Y':'N', (fm>>11)&1?'Y':'N');
return 0;
}

Hi Ivan,

Hi Ivan, Please take a look at article ( and comments ): Article: How to build IPP application in Linux environment Web-link: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/how-to-build-ipp-application-in-linux-environment It is clear that in your case a core IPP library was not included when building an executable. Best regards, Sergey

Ivan,

Look at the forum post (http://www.qtforum.org/article/32888/linking-libraries-in-qt-creator.html?s=68ffa6e4aa4639cbfbe3f25fee0277caf28978fb#post106006). It contains some hints regarding adding external libraries to Qt project.

Note, that IPP libraries are Visual Studio-style. The name of functions in the library files are Microsoft's "__stdcall" type, i.e. "_" added at the beginning of the name and "@<number>" is added to the end.

Regards,
Sergey

Oops, sorry! You are asking about Linux. Try this then (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9563747/how-to-add-multiple-external-libraries-to-qt-creator-pro-ubuntu)

Hello! I have Error "

Hello! I have Error " undefined reference to `ippiSet_8u_C1R' ", and how i understand i have to do step 3 for solution, but:
I have problems with Step 3 (l_ipp_7.1.1.117_intel64). I found /opt/intel/ipp/bin/ippvars.sh and /opt/intel/ipp/bin/intel64/ippvars_intel64.sh but a Terminal wrote that both of them "can't open".

Hi, >>...I have Error " undefined reference to `ippiSet_8u_C1R' ", and how i understand i have to do step 3 for solution... It means, a right IPP library is still not used in your build process. >>I have problems with Step 3 (l_ipp_7.1.1.117_intel64). I found /opt/intel/ipp/bin/ippvars.sh and >>/opt/intel/ipp/bin/intel64/ippvars_intel64.sh but a Terminal wrote that both of them "can't open". It looks like Access Rights issue and it is not related to IPP.

Yes, but i had been doing

Yes, but i had been doing this with SUDO SU. And if i am super user i I shouldn't have a problem with it? Or i am not right?

Hello!

Oleg_M_ — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 12:37:57 GMT

Hello!

I've Got nerely the same problem. I've installed Intel C++ composer for Linux. But I can't launch ipp libraries. Got the same error, found the article, provided here, but in the Common error messages it is written that I should run the gcc compiler like

gcc -o main main.c -I <ipp install path>/em64t/include -L <ipp install path>/em64t/sharedlib -lippiem64t -lippsem64t -lippcoreem64t -liomp5 -lpthread -lm

but I haven't found neither the directories mentioned nor the libraries. Maybe this manual is for the older versions of ipp, or maybe I've installed them in a wrong way?

Hi Oleg,

Sergey_K_Intel — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:29:12 GMT

Hi Oleg,

"-I " command line options should point to IPP include directory, "-L" should point to IPP library (architecture-specific) directory - i.e. ia32/intel64, depending on where you have IPP installed. By the way, "em64t" is not used since IPP 6.1. Now it is "intel64". Tell what version of Composer/IPP do you use, we'll check the documentation additionally.

Regards,
Sergey

Thank you, Sergey.

Oleg_M_ — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 05:12:17 GMT

Thank you, Sergey.

I've recently downloaded the 2013 composer and now I'm trying to work with it. I'll try launching the libraries as you recomended.

By the way, could you, please, give me a link on some manual for Intel Linux compiler, becuase I can't launch any "man" for it.

Thank you.

Oh, sory, but you didn't

Oleg_M_ — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 05:47:00 GMT

Thank you, Sergey.

I'm using Intel Composer 2013. Thank you for mentioning the directories, but you didn't mention the files, that should be included in the "-L" section

Thank you.

Hi Oleg,

Sergey_K_Intel — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 10:08:37 GMT

Hi Oleg,

"-L" (upper case L) in Linux defines the library directory where the linker will search for particular libraries specified by "-l" (lower case L) option.

If I had to link my application I would specify "-L /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013/ipp/lib/intel64".
For compiler I would set "-I /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013/ipp/include". This is because on server where I am hosted the composer is installed in "/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013". In your case it may be different, but anyway "/ipp/include" and "/ipp/lib/intel64" tails are the same.

Regards,
Sergey

Thank you once again, but I

Oleg_M_ — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 10:57:09 GMT

Thank you once again, but I've met another problem after using a command like this:

g++ main.cpp -o main -l /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.2.146/ipp/include -L /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.2.146/ipp/lib/intel64

i got:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.2.146/ipp/include

It's some kind of magic :) Or, maybe I don't understand something...

Thank you, anyway.

This is a common problem of

Sergey_K_Intel — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:10:31 GMT

This is a common problem of similarity of "-l" (lowercase L) and "-I" (uppercase i). Unfortunately they look similar. Uppercase i is an option for compiler to look for .h files. Lowercase L is an option for linker to link with specified library. For example, "-l pthread" (again, -<lowercase L> pthread :)) makes linker to link with "libpthread.a" library.

Regards,
Sergey

Exactly, I've tryed both of

Oleg_M_ — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:15:36 GMT

Exactly, I've tryed both of them :)

When I use lower "L" I get /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.2.146/ipp/include

When i use upper "i" I get:

/tmp/cccPZpZ2.o: In function `main':
main.cpp:(.text+0x6b): undefined reference to `ippiSet_8u_C1R'

This is where magic lives :)

Then, you need to add signal

Sergey_K_Intel — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 11:31:07 GMT

Then, you need to add signal processing library (IPPS) to linker command line:

... -l ipps_l (lowercase L)

to link to libipps_l.a (merged static single-thread library). "Merged" means all CPUs optimizations in one library. Or, you can use:

... -l ipps

to link to dynamic (libipps.so) library.
