Compatibility with OS X Yosemite and Xcode 6.0.1

[Claude_Perron]

Hello,

I just received a request to update the MAC OS X from MOuntain Lion to Yosemite and also Xcode 6.0.1

Will XE Composer be compatible or ,what do I need to do to ensure XE Composer works with Xcode 6.0.1

[Qianshi_W_]

I find the same problem. after i upgrade, fort can't find -lgcc_s

Greetings Qianshi W.

It seems like the compatibility problem is tied to Xcode 6

I decided not to upgrade to Xcode 6 and everything still works fine with Xcode 5 although I have installed Mac OS X 10.

I guess the question for Intel is : When will there be an new version of XeComposer compatible with Xcode 6?

Certainly hope so having just paid for a years support ;-)

I have xcode 4, 5 and 6 but 6 doesn't work with ifort yet on 10.9.5

I have asked our OS X experts to comment on this. I will note that each new Xcode (and often OS X) release tends to break compatibility in one way or another, and we get little or no warning (and no explanation) from Apple. I will also comment that we don't claim to support Xcode 6.0 yet - usually we add support for new Xcode releases in an update.

Let's start with the basics

First, as of today, Oct. 20 2014 the latest Intel compiler is Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition, initial release:  aka 15.0.0.077.

At this time, Intel compilers do not OFFICIALLY support Apple OS* X 10.10 aka Yosemite.  Support will officially come in a future update.  We release updates to the compiler roughly every 3 months.  15.0 was released in late August.  We do not commit to release dates as these can change based on features, testing results, and so on.

That said - IF you have upgraded to 10.10, and IF you have installed Xcode 6.0.1 and IF you have installed Intel 15.0.0.077 AFTER the Xcode installation, we believe this may work.  But if not, remember this is not a supported configuration at this time but it is our belief that this configuration may work.

If you compile from the command line, remember to do this first:

source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

If you upgraded to OS X 10.10 Yosemite:

Install XCode 6 and make sure to run it - after installation there is an additional step to actually run Xcode, accept a license agreement, and complete the download and installation.  

Use the 15.0 version of the Intel compiler.  If you have active support with your license, download it from your Intel Registration Account at https://registrationcenter.intel.com.  If you have installed Xcode 6, run or re-run the installation of Intel 15.0 again to get the integrations into Xcode.

If you have older versions of the compiler, 13.1 and older, it is quite likely you will not be able to use this compiler on OS X 10.10.   There will be no more updates for these older compilers. 

If you have version 14.0, this compiler is not supported under OS X 10.10 and XCode 6 at this time.  IF support comes, it will may come in a future update HOWEVER that update may or may not occur.  IF you insist on using v14.0 of the compilers with OS X 10.10, remember this is not supported, but for sure upgrade to the latest update, Update 4, 14.0.4.201, as this will give you the best chance for a compatible compiler.

Hello Ron,

Thanks for the info. I had XE Composer  14 and updated to XE 15 .  I installed Xcode 6 and installed XE Composer 15 afterwards and it works just fine. Thank you for your support.

I would have to have information on what version of Xcode you have, what version of the compiler, and did you install the compiler AFTER Xcode.

But I think if you follow the advice to Install AND RUN Xcode 6.0.1, install Intel 15.0 then you will have success.

Yes, I'm using Xcode 6.0.1. Thanks for your feedback, I will try intel 15.0.

Ron, FYI I am using Intel Fortran compiler under v14.0.1. I recently upgraded my OS X to 10.10 and XCode to v6.1. I initially ran into library conflicts, but managed to resolve them. Now the compiler appears to run just fine.

Ron,

It seems Apple is playing an unintersting game.  They just updated to Xcode 6.1 and it was installed automatically on my computer after a restart and... it doesn't seem compatible with Xe15.  Should I try to re-install the compiler or is there a faster way?

Regards,

Claude

[Kevin_D_Intel]

There may be a faster way Claude. Another user had a similar inquiry here and our Developer suggested a sym-link can be used.

[Claude_Perron]

Thanks Kevin.

It worked just fine.
