VS2010 integration with Windows SDK 7.1

[Mike4]

Hi all !

Now I work with visual studio 2010 and the windows platform SDK 7.1.

When the platform toolset is defines as "Windows7.1sdk", the "Intel performance libraries" option disapears in the configuration properties dialog.

If i use the "v100" or "v90" toolset the "Intel performance libraries" option is present and I can choose to use it or not.

Is there a particular problem to use IPP 7 with platform SDK 7.1 ? (Win 7 / 32bits)

Thanks

Mike

Hello Mike,

I am not aware of any such problems. We'll have to bring this up with the Visual Studio integration team who make all that magic under the VS hood work for the compiler and libraries.

As a workaround, you can configure your VS project manually. See the second half of the following KB for more information:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-integrated-performance-primitives-intel-ipp-for-windows-compiling-and-linking-with-microsoft-visual-c-and-intel-c-compilers/

or steps 3-6 of this KB:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/compiling-and-linking-ipp-applications-with-intel-c-compilers/

This article will help with basic environment configuration:

or this might help, the names apply to the 6.1 library, but the configuration described still applies:

Hi Paul,

I used the manual environment configuration as before, it works fine.
However I hope the visual studio integration team will correct the problem ... it so convenient :)

thanks for your answer

Hello Mike,

Glad to hear you've got it working. I've filed a bug report.

Hello Mike,

Feedback fromt he IDE integration team indicates that this particular issue will not be fixed. It has to do with how the Windows SDK is installed -- which results in a different environment to be supported.

Sorry, that means you'll have to continue to use a manual configuration.
