Does oneAPI support csh?

[afelt]

There used to be a script to source when using csh/tcsh for the previous versions of the Intel compiler but the current version doesn't seem to come with a setvars.csh. Is csh/tcsh support planned?

Also, I see a post to this point was deleted but still found by Google which I would point out has led me to need to ask this question in duplicate.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

">>Is csh/tcsh support planned?"

Currently, GNU bash is the only shell supported. However, we will discuss this with the concerned internal team and we will get back to you soon.

Hi Aaron,

Could you please try the below command for sourcing the setvars.sh

# oneAPI setvars.sh use in csh/tcsh

bash -c 'source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh ; exec csh'

For more details refer to the below link.

Please let us know if this helps.

Have a Good day.

This allows me to interactively source the script, but how would one do this in a resource file/shell initialization file? For example, within a ~/.tcshrc.

Hi Aaron,

>>" how would one do this in a resource file/shell initialization file? For example, within a ~/.tcshrc."

Could you please try adding the above-mentioned command at the end of the ~/.tchrc file and let us know if you face any issues.

This causes an infinite loop of opening tcsh as each instance of "exec tcsh" will cause ~/.tcshrc to be re-sourced. If it is modified to "exec tcsh -f" it won't source this twice, but with a partially configured shell. A better solution can probably be devised to detect that we are on the second iteration of the "login loop" this creates and I will post back if I get a second to Google-jitsu up a method.

[afelt]

Okay, I came up with a quick method that is working.

Contents of ~/.tcshrc

if ( ! $?intel_sourced ) then

  setenv intel_sourced "yes"

  bash -c "source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh; exec tcsh"

endif

<rest of ~/.tcshrc here>

This seems to disrupt scp/sftp etc. I don't suggest this solution yet.... Best would be an Intel-provided setvars.csh.

We are in discussion with the internal team, and we will get back to you soon regarding the same.

We have raised it with the development team. It might be implemented in the future release but at this moment, it is difficult to mention any timeline for it.

Could you please confirm whether we have answered all your queries? If yes, let us know if we can close this thread from our end.

Have a Good day!

I am another user that would welcome the csh/tcsh version of the setvars script. It would avoid a hassle of using a separate bash window for compiling the code.

[GARGA]

No the issue is not resolved... I am getting constant error like the attached screenshot .

i have done this 

bash -c "source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh; exec tcsh"

please tell me if the team has included setvars.csh file with the latest version (Version: 2021.3
Date: June 21, 2021)   now or not. otherwise I can not risk my data plan to download it. Please reply as soon as possible

Same request from me, I just installed the current oneapi compiler & see it only provides a bash version of the setvars script. The version we've been using until now provided both a csh & sh version of scripts to set variables eg. iccvars.csh & iccvars.sh

It would seem like a small effort to provide so again rather than expect users to write their own.

Thanks!

I also need a csh/tcsh version of setvars. Right now, I execute this manually at the beginning of every shell I want to use oneapi in:

bash -c "source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh; exec tcsh"

I am another user.  Given the cost of this package, it seems a bit ridiculous that the "team" cannot support csh/tcsh.  As of the 2023.1 version, this support is still missing.  the above command generates an error (setenv: Too many arguments).  Any chance support is planned?
