vector-add example throws exception: Native API failed. Native API returns: -15 (CL_COMPILE_PROGRAM_

[Nagy-Egri__Mate_Fere]

I'm using Windows 10 2004 (64-bit) with MSVC (19.27.29111 for x64) alongside dpcpp (2021.1 (2020.8.0.0827)) trying to compile the vector-add sample to run on the CPU device of the Intel OpenCL CPU runtime (18.1.016). I got only the Visual C++ Build Tools installed, not the IDE.

My problem is, that:

1. docs say that "Open a command window." and invoke setvars.bat. Having done that, it fails to find the Visual C++ Build Tools, it doesn't matter if I set VS2019INSTALLDIR to either C:\Kellekek\Microsoft\VisualStudio or C:\Kellekek\Microsoft\VisualStudio\2019\BuildTools (the latter is where it's actually installed). Invoking the script from a prompt already having invoked vcvarsall.bat works fine.

2. Moving along, I got oneapi-cli.exe to create the vector-add sample folder where I could build using the NMake makefiles if I added the path to all the libs needed as LDFLAGS = /link /LIBPATH:C:\Kellekek\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2021.1-beta09\windows\lib /LIBPATH:C:\Kellekek\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2021.1-beta09\windows\compiler\lib\intel64_win. I also had to add C:\Kellekek\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2021.1-beta09\windows\redist\intel64_win\compiler and C:\Kellekek\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2021.1-beta09\windows\bin to the PATH so the resulting executable finds sycl.dll and all the other DLLs it needed. (The MSBuild project compiled without hiccups.)

3. Having compiled the example, I tried running it, but it returns the same error:

An exception is caught for vector add.
Native API failed. Native API returns: -15 (CL_COMPILE_PROGRAM_FAILURE) -15 (CL_COMPILE_PROGRAM_FAILURE)

The latter part only gets printed because I added std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl; to the catch block after the kernel invocation before std::terminate(); This happens both when I change the device selector to cpu_selector and host_selector too. I have used the CPU device before with ComputeCpp many times before and it worked, but it seems to fail driving the sample code from the oneAPI SDK.

Am I missing something?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

As per the DPC++ system requirements, you need to have Microsoft Visual Studio with "Desktop development with C++" workload installed"

Please find the below link for more details about DPC++ system requirements.

https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/intel-oneapi-dpcpp-system-requirements-beta.html

However, we will get back to you with more information.

Have a Good day!

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Could you please try the following steps and let us know the outcome of it. So that we can get more details about the issue which you are facing.

1.     Try C++ HelloWorld program to make sure the necessary C++ headers/runtimes are there in your system environment.

2.     Create an intel64 environment and try to run the dpcpp vector-add application again:

• Start > search for "Intel oneAPI command prompt for Microsoft Visual Studio 2019"

• Right-click on the application > Open File Location

• Right-click on the application > Properties > Shortcut > Add intel64 at the end of the target field.

• example: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /E:ON /K ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" vs2019 intel64"
• Run the vector-add sample application.

Please provide the screenshots/error logs if applicable.

Thanks & Regards

Thank you @GouthamK_Intel for the reply (and apologies for delay on my end). setvars.bat is installed elsewhere on my system.

Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is C047-66C7

Aside from that, if I tried invoking the setvars script the way you mentioned, it failed.

C:\Users\mnagy>C:\Kellekek\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat vs2019 intel64
::  initializing oneAPI environment  ::

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

 Having looked inside the batch file it seems to look for VS2017/VS2019 installs based on env vars which are set in my system, but do note that it's only the Build Tools that got installed (I'm using VS Code) and not the full blown IDE.

 I did note however that setvars.bat is sensitive to being invoked in VS dev prompts and takes shortcuts in those cases. I tried that and indeed it did the trick.

 These may be useful for people favoring bare minimum installs (and CI images) that wish to leverage oneAPI.
