Failed to compile sample program

When I compiled the native C++ implementation according to this tutorial, only the obj file was generated, not the executable file. My toolkit is the latest version, and the system is win10. I want to know why this happens.

icx.exe /c /Qm64 /Zi /nologo /W3 /O2 /Ob1 /Oi /D NDEBUG /D _CONSOLE /D _UNICODE /D UNICODE /EHsc /MD /GS /Gy /Zc:forScope /Fo"x64\Release\\" /TP src\main.cpp src\mandelbrot.cpp src\timer.cpp

This is the command I use.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

We see that you used '/c' option in your compilation command. Using '/c' option will stop linking and will generate object(.o) file, instead of executable(.exe).

So try removing '\c' option and re-compile to generate .exe file as below:

icx.exe /Qm64 /Zi /nologo /W3 /O2 /Ob1 /Oi /D NDEBUG /D _CONSOLE /D _UNICODE /D UNICODE /EHsc /MD /GS /Gy /Zc:forScope /TP src\main.cpp src\mandelbrot.cpp src\timer.cpp

Please refer to the below screenshot.

Thanks & Regards,

I removed  '\c' option and re-compiled it, but the executable file still wasn't generated.

icx.exe /Qm64 /Zi /nologo /W3 /O2 /Ob1 /Oi /D NDEBUG /D _CONSOLE /D _UNICODE /D UNICODE /EHsc /MD /GS /Gy /Zc:forScope /Fo"x64\Release\\" /TP src\main.cpp src\mandelbrot.cpp src\timer.cpp

Hi,

We see the option '/Fo' followed by <path of object files that need to be generated>  i.e "x64/Release" in your compiling command.

'/Fo' flag is meant to accumulate the object files at a specified path or directory. So if we use '/Fo' we get only (.obj) files in the /Fo path i.e "x64/Release", but not (.exe) .

So ignore '/Fo' option too!

Please use the below command and try re-compiling the program:

icx.exe /Qm64 /Zi /nologo /W3 /O2 /Ob1 /Oi /D NDEBUG /D _CONSOLE /D _UNICODE /D UNICODE /EHsc /MD /GS /Gy /Zc:forScope /TP src\main.cpp src\mandelbrot.cpp src\timer.cpp

Please refer to the below screenshot.
