Where can one procure the 'Microsoft Visual Studio package' on Linux?

[MrAlex94]

From the documentation:
> On Linux, icx-cl requires the Microsoft Visual Studio package. 

I'm not sure which package that is or where exactly to get it from? Hoping it'll fix issues such as LNK1104: cannot open file 'libcmt.lib', etc.

Thanks for the response, but that link isn't very helpful. The only thing useable on Linux there is VS Code, which I assume is not the package being referred to?

Hi,

Thanks for posting on Intel communities.

I would like to inform you that the icx-cl on Linux platform is currently in its experimental stage. And The compiler has an external dependency on the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ package (compiler/headers/libraries/tools). There should be a cross-compiler package for Linux available from Microsoft which provides this baseline.

I kindly request that you avoid using icx-cl on Linux.

If you still face any issues please let us know.

Thanks & Regards,

Sorry for the late reply, I have notifications turned on but none seem to have been delivered to my inbox.

Managed to sort it out as you mentioned, by copying the aforementioned Windows SDK and VS libraries over, managed to point the compiler to the libs.
