Building a Custom Dynamic-link Library in the Visual Studio Development System

Shai_E_ — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 14:26:10 GMT

Hi,

I trying to build a custom DLL by following the instructions in https://software.intel.com/en-us/mkl-windows-developer-guide-building-a-custom-dynamic-link-library-in-the-visual-studio-development-system .

I get the following warning:

example.def(22): warning LNK4017: cblas_dgemm statement not supported for the target platform; ignored
example.def(23): warning LNK4017: cblas_sgemv statement not supported for the target platform; ignored
example.def(24): warning LNK4017: cblas_sgemm statement not supported for the target platform; ignored
example.def(25): warning LNK4017: LAPACKE_sgetrf statement not supported for the target platform; ignored
example.def(26): warning LNK4017: LAPACKE_sgetri statement not supported for the target platform; ignored
example.def(27): warning LNK4017: MKL_malloc statement not supported for the target platform; ignored
example.def(27): warning LNK4017: MKL_free statement not supported for the target platform; ignored

and it seems that the resulted dll doesn't contain these methods.

Thank you,

Shai

Thanks Shai.

Thanks Shai.

Could you please give more details to reproduce the case on our side: is VS 2013, 2015 or 2017?

ia32 or 64?

list of function from xamples.def file.

version of MKL?

thanks, Gennady

Hi,

I'm using the VS2015 solution, Intel 64 architecture, MKL version 2017 update 3, 17.0.0.051.

The list of functions is:

cblas_dgemm
cblas_sgemv
cblas_sgemm
LAPACKE_sgetrf
LAPACKE_sgetri
MKL_malloc
MKL_free

Thanks,

Shai

1/ yes, I see also some

1/ yes, I see also some inconsistency when VS Solutions are used. We will take a look at this case.

2/ You may build the custom dll by using the command line. It works. Here is output I see on my side:

3/ the similar works as an expected with dynamic cases nmake dllintel64

Thank you, I've succeeded to

Thank you, I've succeeded to build the dll using the command line tool.
