Intel C/C++ compiler 10.1.021 for Win64/IA64 does not work with Microsoft Windows SDK 6.0.6001.18000.367

[Frank_Illenseer]

Working on Windows Server 2003 SP2 for Itanium (i.e. at least this problem first discovered there) with the latest Compilers from Intel (i.e. Intel C++ IA-64 Compiler for applications running on IA-64, Version 10.1.021) and the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 (version 6.0.6001.18000.367) from Microsoft I get the following errors when trying to link a simple "hello world" program

#include

void main(void)
{
printf("Hello world ");
}

with the Intel compiler:

Intel C++ IA-64 Compiler for applications running on IA-64, Version 10.1.021

The settings in the environment are:

I am building from the command line directly and there is NO Visual Studio installed on the machine. Only the stuff that came out of the Windows SDK installation.

compilation aborted for helloWorld.c (code 4)

There are a lot of these errors out of "stdio.h". If you need the complete output, then just state and I can provide.

Can anyone please comment on this issue and maybe help to get the Intel compilers working with Windows SDK?

Thanks.

I just tried installing the SDK on an Intel 64 technology-based system, and after some work to get the iclvars.bat Intel compiler script to call up the right Microsoft dev environment, I'm able to compile your hello, world without problems. We're still looking into this though.

Thanks Brandon for testing this.

Can you tell me any details on this, so I can also get this maybe working on may machine? Or maybe tell me what I made wrong?
Or do you consider this some kind of Intel compiler deficiency, as you are stating "we're still looking into this though"...?

Can I do anything to help with this case?

I think at this point you should go to https://premier.intel.com and submit an issue there. If you don't have access, go to http://registrationcenter.intel.com and register your compiler. When you submit this as an issue, attach a preprocessed version of your hello file. Generate it like so:

icl -E -c hello.c > hello.i

and then attach the hello.i file to the issue. Comparing this with my file, I can try to sort out what header differences are causing this.

The problem here was that the icl.cfg configuration file in the compiler bin directory contained /Qvc8 when you need to have /Qvc9 set to be compatible with the latest SDK. I assume the installation set /Qvc8 because there was an older SDK on the system at install time, and then the SDK got upgraded later.
