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

[sharma__animesh]

Dear Experts,

I have recently downloaded and installed the "Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE 2018 Update 1" which seems to lack "stdio.h"? 

For example, if i try to initiate the env with "psxevars.bat intel64", it shows no error:

Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE 2018 Update 1
Copyright (C) 2017 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.

Intel(R) Compiler 18.0 Update 1 (package 156)

**********************************************************************
** Visual Studio 2017 Developer Command Prompt v15.5.7
** Copyright (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation
**********************************************************************
[vcvarsall.bat] Environment initialized for: 'x64'

however if i try to build some program, for example https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/openmp_samples_C_win_20170912.zip , it fails with following message:

C:\Users\animeshs\Desktop\openmp_samples>build
icl /nologo /O2 /Qstd=c99 /Qopenmp /F256000000  /Forelease\ src\openmp_sample.c /link /INCREMENTAL:NO /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /MANIFEST:NO  /out:release\openmp_sample.exe
openmp_sample.c
src\openmp_sample.c(54): catastrophic error: cannot open source file "stdio.h"
  #include <stdio.h>
                    ^

compilation aborted for src\openmp_sample.c (code 4)

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Best regards,

Ani

That's one of many include and library files which ICL inherits from Microsoft CL and SDK.  As the .bat file which sets up ICL also sets up CL, as shown by your echo of vcvarsall.bat, you should also be able to build with CL (if your sample doesn't depend too much on C99 or OpenMP beyond 2.0 and you stick with CL command line options).  In VS2017 install, you must install C++ and appropriate SDK choice.  If you need to go back and update those, you will likely need to reinstall (not simply repair) ICL.

Thanks Tim, reinstalling the VS2017 worked! However i am wondering if VS is needed at all to compile a MPI based C++ program?

The program compiles flawlessly on the Linux systems with GCC/MPI but i am not able to do same using Intel on Windows. The compile documents plainly mentioned to use icpc https://github.com/sebhtml/ray/blob/master/Documentation/COMPILERS.txt , any ideas on how to proceed on this one?

Does it work with gcc?
