Linking errors with mkl_intel_thread

[ssylee]

I have implemented helper functions that would call certain Lapack and BLAS functions to calculate matrix inverses, mat-mat multiplications, and mat-vec multiplications. However, when I'm linking with the intel MKL libraries, I keep on getting the following linker errors, which I have no idea how to solve. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

As you have linked the t hreading library, you must also link the threading support (/Openmp if using Intel compiler, libiompxxx.lib if using VC9 or possibly VC8).

As you have linked the t hreading library, you must also link the threading support (/Openmp if using Intel compiler, libiompxxx.lib if using VC9 or possibly VC8).

I'm not sure if this particular library is the problem, but I have changed my project settings in Visual Studio such that these libraries are linked:

mkl_intel_c.lib libmmdd.lib mkl_lapack.lib mkl_c_dll.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib libguide.lib

However, as I run through the program, when it reaches the sgemm function call which involves BLAS in MKL, I am getting this message as attached during run-time. As seen in the debugger, I got an exit code of 3 when the program returned from the main function. It would be great if someone can light up some recommendations if this is a common error of using MKL improperly. Thanks.

Thatt not good idea to link static and dynamic libraries at the same time.
What mkls version are you using? Ill get you the right way to do that but
I d recommend you to read mkls userguide you can find there all recommendation you need to link your application.

I'm using version 10.1 for the MKL and 11.0 for the compiler. Where would the recommendations be in the manual (or what term would you recommend me to search on msdn for the recommendation since the manual is integrated with msdn on my computer). Thanks.

1.mkls userguide (userguide.pdf) you can find this manual into the directory:
..Compiler11.0�66cppDocumentationmkl
2. the recommended linking line is the following:
mkl_intel_c.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib libiomp5md.lib

Thanks for the linking line suggestion. As for the manual, I knew where the manual is located in the MKL directory. What I was asking though, is which section in the manual, clarifying my original question.

Also, see the detailed directory structure in Chapter 3, which you can cross-reference with the libraries in Chapter 5 (See table 5-3).
