Switching to ICC from Mac's XCode project.

[shooting_breeze]

Hello,

I've installed an evaluation version in Developer > opt > intel.

I have command line C++ project in XCode that I would like to compile using ICC. I followed these steps:

- Highlight the target you want to change in the Groups & Files list under the Target group.
- Choose Get Info from the File menu or click the Info button in the toolbar.
- Click Rules in the Target Info window.
- Click the + button at the bottom, left-hand corner of the Target Info window.
- From the Process pull-down menu choose C source files.

But have a problem here:
- From the using pull-down menu, select Intel C++ Compiler 10.0.
because no Intel compiler is listed.

Please help.

Thanks.

Mac OS / Leopard 10.5/ XCode 3.1.2

Version 10.0 is not supported on OSX 10.5 / Xcode 3.1.x

First of all you have a very old version of the compiler. You should register your eval serial number to create a support account and get the latest update. You can register the serial number here: https://registrationcenter.intel.com

For support OS / Xcode / Compiler vesion, check this link:

account and get the latest update. You can register the serial number here: https://registrationcenter.intel.com

Here's what I get though: You do not have the necessary authority to complete the requested operation.

Try getting the eval product here:

Once you get the serial number, and register it, you will have access to the products here:

That's exactly what I had done:

and I have kept the serial number...

So you can't register the eval serial number that was email to you at https://registrationcenter.intel.com?

Where did you download the compiler from?

From an intel page, similar to the one you showed. But I will download the file sent in the email from Intel, release 11.1 and see what happens.

I have followed your instructions and installed 11.1 which is compatible with XCode 3.1. Where do I go from here? I still have the same problem:

Are you using the latest 11.1 package? Something like 11.1.067. Did you fully exit Xcode before installation and then restart Xcode. Xcode sometimes does not load third party plugins. A system restart might help.

The 11.1.067 compiler plugin should be installed in /Developer/Library/Xcode/Plug-ins/ICC*.xcplugin

Check to see if it's there.

Yes, the plugin is there and a restart is enough.

However, I thought I could switch compilers from projet > build settings > compiler version. I take it this is only for the default gcc?

Anyways, thanks!

Setting the compiler there will not work if you mix objective-c and C++ code, or target target ppc. Intel compiler defer to gcc to compile objective-c and target ppc. If you set the build setting->compiler version to intel compiler, it will exclusively use the intel compiler. Thisresult in compilation failure if you have objective-C source or if you are targeting ppc since Intel compiler does not support ppc targets or objective-c/c++.

I have exactly the same issue and I followed your instructions, but the problem is still there.

I confirmed ICC11.1 Compiler.xcplugin is in that location you pointed out.

I have reinstalled compiler a couple times and restarted machine several times. No luck.

My Xcode version: 3.1.4

compiler version: 11.1.089

Please help and thanks.
