Compile for Linux/Mac on Windows?

[eos_pengwern]

Is it possible to use IVF on Windows to compile Fortran code for subsequent linking with gcc on a Linux or Mac platform?

Obviously one needs to ensure that the target system has an appropriate IA-32, IA-64 or Intel 64 architecture, and I wouldn't expect to be able to compile a whole executable or DLL, but what about a static library or a collection of .obj files (in either case with one or more manually generated .h files for linking into C)?

If this isn't possible, then does a license-holder for IVF still have to pay full priceto buy the IVF Linux/Mac compiler in addition?

This is not possible for several reasons. One is the object file formats are not the same.

Yes, the compilers are sold separately by OS. There's no discount available (that I'm aware of) for an alternate/additional OS version for an existing license holder of another OS version.

Don't take that as the final say though. Every situation is different, soI recommend inquiring at: intel.software.sales@intel.com

Thank you Kevin; that's more or less what I expected, but it's always worth checking!
