Using Intel Compiler 2022 as a toolset in cmake not working

Tried to build oneDNN with Intel Compiler 2022.1.0.138 using these documentation

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

Could you please use the below cmake command and let us know if it helps?

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=dpcpp -GNinja ..

We tried at our end and we were able to build the application successfully as shown in the screenshot attached.

Thanks & Regards,

Santosh

Thanks but it doesn't work. Can you provide a way to use cmake with generator -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" instead of Ninja?

cmake .. -G Ninja -DDNNL_CPU_RUNTIME=DPCPP
-- CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is unset, defaulting to Release
CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Ninja".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.
CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage
CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage

Hi,

Could you please use the below exact command and let us know if it resolves your issue?

cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=dpcpp -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Debug"

We tried at our end and it is working as expected. Please find the below screenshot.

Thanks,

Santosh

We tried the command line you recommended and got the same output as you showed in your screenshot. However, how do you know that cmake has configured the project to use Intel Compiler? The screenshot you shared did not contain any reference to Intel Compiler? Thanks.

Hi,

Apologies for the miscommunication. The command provided in the previous response indeed uses the MSVC compilers but not Intel compilers.

>>"Can you provide a way to use cmake with generator -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" instead of Ninja?"

The only CMake generator that supports oneAPI DPC++ Compiler on Windows is Ninja. 

If you want to use Intel oneAPI DPC++ compiler, then please follow the steps mentioned in the below link:

https://oneapi-src.github.io/oneDNN/dev_guide_build.html#id1

To use the Intel NextGen Compiler, could you please use the below command:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -T "Intel C++ Compiler 2022" ..

If this resolves your issue, make sure to accept this as a solution. This would help others with similar issues. Thank you! 

Best Regards,

Santosh

Can you update the links below which do not have documentation on "Intel C++ Compiler 2022". They only have documentation on previous Intel compilers? Thanks

Configuring CMake* and Microsoft Visual Studio* 2019 for Use with Intel Compilers

Is it possible to add Visual Studio as a cmake generator for oneAPI DPC++ compiler, like "Intel C++ Compiler 2022"? Visual Studio is not only a widely used compiler, but an IDE, debugger, profiler, etc. It's an indispensable tool. The project we're trying to add oneDNN and DPC++ code uses Visual Studio solution generated from cmake.

Hi,

Thanks for accepting our solution.

Thank you for your feedback. We have provided your feedback to the relevant team. 

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

Thanks & Regards,
