Missing mkl_c.lib

[kinderchocolate]

I installed the latest Intel Compiler Suite Professional Edition 11 (w_cproc_p_11.1.035.exe). After installation folder, it has a mkl folder C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\11.1\035\mkl\ia32\lib, but there's no mkl_c.lib in the folder. Do I need to install MKL indpendently?

Installation of Professional Edition gets you full MKL, so no need.

Well, it was also what I thought. mkl_c.lib is definitely in MKL as the project was working previously. I can see mkl_intel_c.lib but not mkl_c.lib.

Hi,

1) mkl_c.lib is dummy library. Contains references to Intel MKL libraries ia32libmkl_intel_c.lib, ia32libmkl_intel_thread.lib, and ia32libmkl_core.lib

And they were removed from the MKL 10.2 version,

Please refer to the MKL 10.2 Release Notes:

New in Intel MKL 10.2:

Compatibility libraries (also known as "dummy" libraries) have been removed from this version of the library

2) the latest Intel Compiler Suite Professional Edition 11 ( 035 build) contains MKL version 10.2

So, why you cannot find this library into this package.
