when will the ifc for mac support Xcode 4.2?

[Renyi_Xu]

The update 8 seemshave not supported xcode 4.2 yet

[Steven_L_Intel1]

We did not receive XCode 4.2 in time to test for Update 8. I'd expect it to be supported in Update 9. New XCode versions almost always break compatibility.

Sorry, I made an error above. We claim that Update 8 supports Xcode 4.2. Are you seeing a problem?

[Renyi_Xu]

In the Xcode 4.2, I selcet New Project->Command Line Tool->Next, in the drop-dowm menu of the page "choose options for your new object", I cant find the option of "Fortran"

In any other templates of"Application", "Framewok&Library", "Application Plug-in", "System Plug-in", "Other", I can't find any forms of Fortran.

But the Fortran templates seems to have been installed for Xcode - directory /Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/File Templates/Fortran has been created

[Renyi_Xu]

I select New Project->other->empty

In the empty project, I insert a new file. In the options, I can see Fortran.

But after insert a Fortran file, the menu of "run" in the top-left of the page is not available

Ok - one of our Mac experts will try to help you, but there will likely be a delay due to the holidays.

[Renyi_Xu]

it's already beenmonday

Many of the people who would answer your question are in the US, and most of them are on holiday until 2012.


When you create a new project, Fortran will not be among the options you can select. Xcode does not support adding non-Apple supplied project templates.

Have you read the directions in the documentation for creating a new Fortran project? In the Fortran Compiler Reference and User Guide, look in the Getting Started -> Using Xcode -> Creating an Xcode Project section for step-by-step instructions for creating a new Fortran project. The windows shown are not from Xcode 4.2 but the workflow is very similar.

I can find the the Fortran ReferenceRelease_NotesF_M_EN_U8.pdf, but I can't the method to creat a new Fortran project in this documentation

[Jeffrey_A_Intel]

In the directory typically named something like /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1/Documentation/en_US/ (that may be where you found the release notes), there should be a file named documentation_f.htm. Openning that with Safari should give you all the Fortran documentation.

You can find it on-line at http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/composerxe/en-us/2011Update/fortran/mac/index.html as well.

I can build Fortran projects in Xcode. Thank you very much.

2 more questions:

1: Which is the first edition support XCode 4.2? Update 6 or 7 or 8?

2:I have added DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to the environment variable and have set the value to the full path to the Intel compiler's/libdirectory, but can't biuld with openMP

Xcode 4.2 was first supported in Update 8. You can read all the release notes via the link at the top of this forum.
