Due to disk space shortage, I'm thinking of removing some unimportant files. I wonder if what these files do and if they're important...</P> <P>tools directory - what are they used for? don't think they're important</P> <P>interfaces - don't know??</P> <P>include - important</P> <P>lib - 32 - for 32bit sys</P> <P>- 64 - for 64bit</P> <P>-em64t - for em64t sys - if only 64bit, does it mean I can delete 32 and em64t dir?</P> <P>*.so and *.a in lib/32 or 64 or em64t dir - if I link statically, does it mean *.so can be deleted? similarly, if I always link shared library, ca *.a be deleted?</P> <P>_p3 or _p4 or _p4m files - are those meant for specific processor eg. _p3 or pentium 3? Hence if my system is not p3, I can safely delete them off?</P> <P>doc - documents, not important.</P> <P>So is my assumption correct? Thanks</P> <P></P> <P></P> <P></P> <P></P> Sat, 09 Dec 2006 12:19:23 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/Deleting-unimportant-files-to-save-disk-space-for-mkl/m-p/893976#M10679 Wee_Beng_T_ 2006-12-09T12:19:23Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/Deleting-unimportant-files-to-save-disk-space-for-mkl/m-p/893977#M10680 MKL /64 libraries are for IA-64. linux /em64t are for 64-bit builds in x86-64 OS.
