MacOS Big Sur : impossible to compile with a C++ code with Intel compiler

[chris6]

Hello,

I have just migrated from Catalina to Big Sur and I have issues when compiling a simple C++ code with Intel icpc compiler (version 2020 Update 4).

With brew's GNU version g++-4.9, it doesn't work also but compiles fine with brew's g++-6 and g++-10 even if some  warning could produce wrong results in the codes.

Before the Big Sure update, I had no problems with icpc on Catalina.

For intel, I thought that installing CTL (Command Tools line) version 11 would be sufficient but this is not the case : indeed, it is misssing the package Headers .pkg in CTL version 11 : how can I do without these Headers now ?

For the instant, I get these errors :

If someone could give me any track/clue in this issue of Intel compilation.

Why the Headers .pkg doesn't appear anymore with Command Tool Lines of last Package for Big Sur (version released the 14th December 2020) ?

How could I circumevent this issue ?

Any help is welcome

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

As your having issue with macOS, we are escalating this thread to the concerned internal team who will further guide you.

Have a Good day.

Thanks & Regards

IPSXE2020 Update 4 doesn't support Big Sur. You can see from

https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-compilers-compatibility-with-microsoft-visual-studio-and-xcode.html

However, Intel C++ compiler in OneAPI HPC toolkit supports it. You can download from

Thanks,

Please use oneAPI HPC toolkit. We are closing this thread. If you have any other issues, please open a new thread.

Thanks,
