Difficulty using MKL in VSCode

[F_L]

Hello,

I'm encountering an issue while trying to use Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) in my C++ project within Visual Studio Code (VSCode).

I have successfully installed Base Toolkit on my windows system, and I'm using the "C/C++ IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing" extension for VSCode.

The mkl_example.cpp is given below:

#include <Rcpp.h>
#include <mkl.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
// Define the example function
// [[Rcpp::export]]
List example(Rcpp::NumericVector para) {
  int n = para.size();
  NumericVector result(n); 
  // Get a pointer to the data of the NumericVector
  const double* para_ptr = para.begin();
  // Perform the element-wise addition
  vdAdd(n, para_ptr, para_ptr, result.begin());
  return List::create(_["result"] = result);
}

The "c_cpp_properties.json" file contains the following:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Win32",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**",
                "C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.3/Rcpp/include",
                "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-43~1.1/include",
                "C:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/oneAPI/mkl/latest/include"
            ],
            "defines": [
                "_DEBUG",
                "UNICODE",
                "_UNICODE"
            ],
            "compilerPath": "C:\\mingw64\\bin\\gcc.exe",
            "cStandard": "c17",
            "cppStandard": "gnu++14",
            "intelliSenseMode": "windows-gcc-x64"
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

I run the following commands: 

library(Rcpp)
cpp_file <- "C:/Users/user/OneDrive/Documents/VariousCodes/mkl/mkl_example.cpp"
sourceCpp(cpp_file)
# Create a numeric vector
input_vector <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
# Call the C++ function
result <- example(input_vector)
# 'result' now contains the element-wise addition of 'input_vector'

and get the flowing output:

> source("c:\\Users\\user\\OneDrive\\Documents\\VariousCodes\\$

I think that i have included the directory for the Intel oneAPI Math Kernel Library (MKL). In the system environment variables, you have added the following entries to the "Path."

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\compiler\lib\intel64
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\compiler\lib\intel64_win
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\compiler\lib\ia32
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\compiler\lib\ia32_win

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\redist\ia32_win\compiler
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2023.2.1\windows\bin

I would appreciate any help.
