Installing IPP via pip

[Holm-Rasmussen__Bo]

Hi,

we would like to keep track of the IPP version in use for a Windows C++ project. Using Intel Software Manager only lets us upgrade manually. Alternatively, Python virtual environments and pip seemed to be a clever way to do that on developer machines and on the build server. However, installing IPP via pip only installs the *.dll files. Installing ipp-devel via pip also adds the *.h files. However, we still need the *.lib files to compile our C++ project because our application is system critical and cannot depend on *.dll files.

Do you plan to include the *.lib files in a future pip version of IPP? Or is there another lightweight way (like pip install) to automatically fetch different versions of IPP?

Kind regards, Bo

Thank you for the link Aswin.

However, following your link I am still not able to see how to get the *.lib versions of IPP via pip.

SOLUTION:

Looking into Conda as Python package manager I see that all the IPP library types are available and updated to latest versions. For Microsoft that is the *.dll, *.lib and *.h files. Available with these separate conda packages:
