Compiling python 2.7.10 using intel 2016 compiler on OSX 10.10

[Brecht_V_]

I'm trying to compile python 2.7.10 using ICC 16.0.0 20150803, on OSX 10.10. I have xcode commandlinetools installed in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Running make works fine, but during make install I run into the following error:

icc -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g  -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -o FileSettings.o -c ./FileSettings.m
clang: error: argument to '-isysroot' is missing (expected 1 value)
problem occurred when compiling './FileSettings.m' with the clang compiler (code 1)
make: *** [FileSettings.o] Error 1

icc seems to call clang with the following command:

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/clang    -DNDEBUG -v -g -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -c -femit-all-decls ./FileSettings.m -o FileSettings.o -arch x86_64 -isysroot

without an argument to isysroot, which generates the error.

Is there some way I can pass the correct argument to isysroot?

I was able to build and install fine. What flags are setting with your configure? Also what versions of xcode are you using ?

Hi Kenneth,

thanks for your reply. I was able to compile python now, but when running the ctypes test in,

Lib/ctypes/test/test_array_in_pointer.py

I get a segmentation fault when I set the optimization flags to O2 or higher. So with O0 and O1 it works fine.

Can you reproduce this error?

I installed xcode from the app store, running the following commands outputs:

xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Yes, I can reproduce this with icc-16.0.0 and Python 2.7.11 (the latest)

This has been reported to the developers.  I'll keep this thread updated with any news.

Building Python 3.6.0 using Intel compilers 2017.1.126 on Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6

I have only Xcode command line installed, I removed the IDE since I never use it.

sudo make seemed fine, but sudo make install gives the following.

icc -O3 -fp-model strict -fp-model source -xHost -ipo -prec-div -prec-sqrt -Wsign-compare -Wunreachable-code -fno-common -dynamic -DNDEBUG -g  -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -o FileSettings.o -c ./        FileSettings.m

clang: error: argument to '-isysroot' is missing (expected 1 value)

problem occurred when compiling './FileSettings.m' with the clang compiler (code 1)

make[2]: *** [FileSettings.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [install_PythonLauncher] Error 2                                                                                                                                                         

make: *** [frameworkinstallapps] Error 2

What is this, and how to solve it? Thanks!
