pnetcdf configure error using icx and ifx

[Jervie]

Hello,

I'm installing pnetcdf-1.12.3 using cx anf ifx in OneAPI 2023.1.0. However, when I configure it, I met the following error:

 /bin/ld: cannot find -loopopt=1
icx: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
configure:28388: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

Any help?

Thanks!

What version of CMake are you using? 

Try the latest stable version. That looks like 3.26.4.

[Ron_Green]

We recommend a minimum of Cmake 3.24, as it has the modules to recognize the icx and ifx compilers.

Also, you need gcc 9 or greater to get C++ standards support needed for icx.

it does look like you have a cmake that is pre- 3.24

Also, did you set FC, F90, or F77 to ifx?  Look into 'config.log' to see if "gfortran" appears.  It is the default and has to be overridden.

[Ron_Green]

Also this report from 2020 indicates the "-loopopt=3" could be coming from an old Autoconf version.

To quote Bill from this old article

"Autoconf 2.70 was released today (see https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autotools-announce/2020-12/msg00001.html for details).  Updating to autoconf 2.70 fixes the “-loopopt=0” issue described in this discussion."

So you need an Cmake 3.24 or greater and autoconf 2.70 or greater.
