User Guide / Linking instructions for OSX?

Michael_Stauffer — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:36:35 GMT

Hi,

I'm using IPP 6.1 on OSX and Win. On OSX I can't find a user guide or similar that describes the linking options. On Win the user guide is very detailed about linking, but seems specific to Win. MKL on OSX has a user guide that dicussess linking. Am I missing something for IPP?

Cheers,

Michael

Hello Michael,

Give this KB article a try and see if it works for you:

Thanks Paul, got it. Or at least, it's compiling.

I assumed some things are the same between Linux and OSX, b/c this page has important info about static linking with multi-threaded libs, but is only for Win and Linux:http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/simplified-link-instructions-for-the-ipp-library/

Also, the info in the above doc about extra libs needed for static multi-threaded building when not using the Intel compiler is not in the Win user guide, nor the Linux User Guide athttp://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/ipp/pdf/userguide_lnx_ia32.pdf

This all would better to have in the downloaded docs for OSX version, I feel.

Cheers,

Michael
