Hi

I followed the instructions on this page to build the vector add example using the visual studio command line. 

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/get-started-with-intel-oneapi-base-windows/top/run-project-visual-studio-command-line.html

The instruction to build the program is 

MSBuild vector-add.sln /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration="Release"

but it fails because there is no .sln file in the folder. Below my search for *.sln in the vector-add generated folder. 

vector-add>dir "*.sln" /s

I'm guessing that the instructions are now outdated and that the oneapi-cli.exe will no longer create a .sln and that you only get the .sln when you use the Visual Studio IDE to create the example (via Extensions -> Intel -> Browse for oneapi examples). True?

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Intel Communities.

Could you please provide your OneAPI Toolkits and Visual Studio versions along with OS and hardware details?

Please check your VS, OneAPI toolkit and OS compatibility through the link given below:

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Shaik

• oneAPI 2023.0.0
• Visual Studio 2022 v 17.5.1 (from the link you sent, oneAPI 2023 was validated on build VS 2022 17.4.2)
• Windows 10 home build 10.0.19045
• Intel core i5-7200

I am able to build and run the examples using the oneAPI CLI (command line interface), so compatibility isn't the issue - the missing .sln is. I thought I'd point out that the instructions below to build using the visual studio command line are now outdated 

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/get-started-with-intel-oneapi-base-win...

Note. I was able to create, build and run in Visual Studio (not visual studio code) when I got the sample from the VS toolbar : extensions-> intel -> browse intel oneapi samples. This tells me the oneapi example getter in VS is able to generate a .sln, whereas the CLI sample getter does not. 

Thanks for your help. 

Cheers

Eddie

Yes, the documentation is indeed outdated and the instructions need to be updated. The solution file(.sln) was removed in the latest OneAPI package(2023.0) and using cmake to standardize the build process. Visual Studio can open cmake based project as well as .sln solution files. The .sln files have been removed in favor of the cmake projects.

Hi,

Thanks for accepting our solution. If you need any additional information, please post a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel.
