catastrophic error: cannot open source file "cxxabi.h"

[SMpay]

Hello,

With macOS 13.2.1, Xcode 14.3, and OneAP 2023.1 I get the following error during compilation:

catastrophic error: cannot open source file "cxxabi.h"

I did not get this error before updating Xcode and OneAPI.

I appreciate it if you could help me find why this is happening.

I know that different versions of this file exist in subdirectories of "/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/" but I don't understand why the Intel compiler cannot find them anymore.

Hi,

Thanks for posting on Intel communities.

According to Intel® Compilers Compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio* and Xcode*, MacOS 13.2.1, Xcode 14.3 are not supported.

So, Please try using supported versions and let us know if you face any issues.

Thanks & Regards,

Vankudothu Vaishnavi.

Dear Vankudothu;

Thanks for your information.

According to this page, there is no sub-version for MacOS 13.

Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit System Requirements

May I know if there are any plans to extend the support for Xcode 14.3 for future release of OneApi?

Hi,

We apologize for creating the confusion, in the previous post we have mentioned that support for Xcode 14.2 in the documentation is provided.

But, The C++ compiler (ICC) integration with the Compiler IDE on macOS only works with Xcode versions up to 13.4. It doesn't work with Xcode 14(not tested) and later because Xcode 14 removed the "Legacy Build System" that our integration relies on. Therefore, we can't provide support for Xcode 14.3.

As for the Fortran compiler (IFORT) on macOS , it doesn't directly integrate with Xcode. However, it can still work with the command line tools of Xcode 14.

So, We will update the document accordingly.

And, Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit for macOS on x86 is now deprecated and will be discontinued in the 2024.0 release.

If this answers your question, please let us know if we can close this thread.

Thanks and regards,

Vankudothu Vaishnavi.

Dear Vankudothu,

Thanks for the clarification.

May I know if it there will be any upcoming Intel C++ compiler that allows compilation on MacOS 13.x.x regardless of integration with the Xcode?

[VaishnaviV_Intel]

Hi,

You can use the ICC (Intel Classic C++ Compiler) on macOS, including macOS 13, using the command line or with Xcode (up to Xcode 13.4). However, the ICX (Intel C++ Compiler) is not supported on macOS.

If this answers your question, please let us know if we can close this thread.

Thank you,

Vankudothu Vaishnavi.

Hi Vankudothu;

I tried to accept the solution but I got authentication failed error for some reason.

I tried again today and it worked.
