Intel C++ Compiler 2023 / DPC++ support for WSL2

[Daniel_D]

Hi,

are there any plans to support WSL2 in the near future - or is there already a workaround how to add the Intel compilers to the Platform Toolsets in a WSL2 Project?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.

You can use Intel C++/DPC++ Compiler 2023 on Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2), and you can try by using the native Linux distribution of Intel® oneAPI tools and libraries on Windows. For GPU Accelerator support starting with Intel® Graphics Driver version 30.0.100.9684 will support WSL2. Please refer to the below link for more details.

Hi,

thanks for the information. What I'm looking for is the Intel compiler in a VS linux project. So I like to select the Intel compiler here:

This is a screenshot of a Windows Project. The VS-Linux project lists just GCC and Clang as Linux compiler toolset - Intel is missing.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi,

Could you please let us know which Linux distribution and version you are using on WSL2?

Hi,

Currently, IDE does not support choosing the platform toolset in C++ Linux project in Visual Studio.

But we recommend the following method to use ICX and DPC++ in Linux projects.

1. After connecting to the target Linux system in Visual Studio, choose the platform toolset "Clang for Windows Subsystem for Linux"

2. You can specify the path of icpx, for e.g.

C++->General->C Compiler: /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.0.0/linux/bin/icpx

C++->General->C++ Compiler: /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.0.0/linux/bin/icpx

Linker->General->Linker: /opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2023.0.0/linux/bin/icpx

3. Then the project can be built with ICX.

Hope this resolves your issue.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

thanks for your solution. I think I can work with it. Do you plan to have a native support for your compiler? Specially to give access to the custom options of it that are not accessable through the clang template?

Can you also please share the guides for the Intel DPC++ ?

Thanks.

As of now, we do not have any plans. We have provided your feedback to the development team.

You can refer to the below link for more information on the Intel DPC++ compiler.
