ifort with MingW

[Sagan__David]

I have to use the MingW environment for a project on Windows due to some compile scripts not being workable under Visual Studio. I would like to use ifort with MingW but I don't know how to set this up (Note: I already use ifort with VS). Is this possible? Thanks for any help.

Do you mean that you use C - Fortran interoperability and wish to use gcc or g++ in place of ICL or C++?  This seems to imply run-time library conflicts, as the Microsoft libraries are required by ifort.

On the other hand, if you use gnu make or a shell such as bash, that should be feasible to use with ifort/cl command line.

[Sagan__David]

C - Fortran interoperability is needed eventually but for now I just want to be able to compile/link with ifort on the command line. Now if I type "which ifort" in MingW I get nothing so there is a setup that is needed and I am not able to find any information on the web on how to do this. Thanks for any help.

Start a normal ifort command prompt, then from within that command run x:\mingw\msys\1.0\msys.bat.  That should have you running in an msys shell environment (is that what you mean by "the MinGW environment"?) with all the ifort environment variables set correctly.
 

[TimP]

If Ian's advice results in ifort picking the wrong link command, you can set the -Qlocation,link option for ifort to point to the Microsoft VC\bin or VC\bin\amd64 folder where their link.exe resides.

I hesitated to answer along the lines which Ian did because I didn't know what you meant by MinGW environment, and didn't want to ask too many off-topical details.

[Sagan__David]

By "MinGW environment" I mean a shell running MinGW.  In response to Ian's post, I start with a shell with ifort setup (the ifort command is reognized). One problem now is that there is no file I can find with a name that is close to "msys.bat" (I am running msys2 not msys). So instead I run C:\msys64\mingw64.exe which spawns a shell running MinGW. Now the problem is that the ifort command is not defined.

Now in the MinGW shell I use the following commands to setup ifort:

  '/c/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE 2015/bin/ipsxe-comp-vars.bat' intel64 vs2010

  export PATH=${PATH}:'C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\bin\intel64'

But now using ifort the linking fails with  "link: unknown option --s". I assume this is the linker picking the wrong link command as per Tim's comment. However I don't understand how to "set the -Qlocation,link option".

Anyone have any ideas? -- Thanks.

I guess there is a GNU link.exe earlier in the PATH than the Ifort linker.

[IanH]

So... I think you are using mingw-w64 and want to work in an MSYS2 environment running the bash shell or similar.  If so, as TimP suggests try something like:

>h:\msys64\usr\bin\bash.exe

[TimP]

No, the path set in location,link is the folder in the vs installation which contains link.exe. for intel64:

-Qlocation,link,"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\AMD64"

[Sagan__David]

Thanks Ian and Tim. I found where the link.exe was but now I get a different error:

Any thoughts? My environmental variables are:

You need at least a LIB setting. You can get the needed details from an Intel compiler pre-initialized command-prompt. Command-prompt shortcuts are under a path like:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015\Compiler and Performance Libraries\Command Prompt with Intel Compiler XE v15.0 Update 1

Start the command-prompt for the Intel 64 environment and then just echo it with:  echo %LIB%
 

[Sagan__David]

OK that worked. Much thanks.

Procedure was:
On intel side:
   echo %LIB%
On MingW side:
   export LIB='stuff-from-intel-side'
