Hi everyone . I am new to the intel set of libraries and tools so I apologize if this is the wrong place for this .. but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
I am trying to statically link against a specific cpu type (_v8) in a project I am working on. On the pc it was straightforward and followed the documentation that comes with the package more or less step for step. I am running into trouble on the Mac OS X platform howerver. The Included documentation basically has the same steps as the PC version .. ie .. pull the correct libraries (_t or _l) and include the header ipp_v8.h file before you reference any other IPP headers. The problem is is there does not seem to be a /tools/static directory where these headers are suposedly located, and a search of the entire install tree does not find them. The Lib directory does however contain the _t and _l libraries and not the merged versions that the older documentation mentions.
I am kind of stumped at the moment and any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Bill,
It seems you go so deeply. we usually to use directly dynamic link model or static link model as IPP can dispatch cpu-specify code to machine during run-time. See http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/introduction-to-linking-with-intel-ipp-70-library/ and Intel IPP - Intel IPP Linkage Models - Quick Reference Guide. The one static link against a specific cpu is most least-used model. Thus, there is not directory in Mac OS for simplify package.
For quick to use _v8 code, you may try ippInitCpu().
for example,

For quick to use _v8 code, you may try ippInitCpu().
for example,
include "ipp.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
ippInitCpu(ippCpuC2D);
const IppLibraryVersion* lib = ippsGetLibVersion();
printf("%s %s %d.%d.%d.%d\n", lib->Name, lib->Version, lib->major, lib->minor, lib->majorBuild, lib->build);
ipp function call
}.
If you still perfer to use the /tools/static, you may try to copy the directoryfrom Windows or Linuxto Mac OS. and replace merged library with _t (static threaded)or _l (static serial)libraries.
