Static link

[John_Hickey]

Hello,

I want to compile my program so that it can run on other Mac OSX machines

I try:

ifort AlphaPhase.f90 -i-static -O3 -fast -m64 -o AlphaPhase1.1

But when i run on another machine I get the error:

sh-3.2$ ./AlphaPhase1.1

Fatal Error: This program was not built to run on the processor in your system.
The allowed processors are: Intel processors with SSE4.2 and POPCNT instructions support.

I have tried -staticlib but this does not compile. I get the error:

xilibtool: executing 'libtool'

libtool: warning same member name (for_main.o) in output file used for input files: /usr/bin/ifort-2011-base/compiler/lib/libifcore.a(for_main.o) and: /usr/bin/ifort-2011-base/compiler/lib/for_main.o (due to use of basename, truncation, blank padding or duplicate input files)

Any help would be appreciated.

With the lahey compiler:

lf95 AlphaPhase.f90 --staticlink -o AlphaPhase1.1

This works fine.

You must drop -fast and use options suitable for the target CPU. If -xSSE4.1 is supported by all your targets, that would be a good choice. Suit yourself as to whether you want -ipo.

[mecej4]

If you ask yourself:

"how can the compiler, ordered to do its best optimization with the -fast option know on which target CPU I intend to run the resulting application on?"

"when a target CPU is not specified, and -fast is requested, what is the most logical assumption as to the target CPU?"

the problems may become easy to understand.

-fast is actually a collection of other switches, all of which you can specify individually. One of the implied switches is -xHost, which means "use the instruction set on the processor used for compilation." As others suggest, this is not an appropriate option to use when running a program on other computers.

-fast translates to: -ipo, -O3, -no-prec-div, -static, and -xHost
