Build info

[erling_andersen]

I am newcomer to cilk but like it.

Now I have been looking for build and linking instructions e.g which libs should I link with.

Now the section

https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/522585

is called 

Build, Run and Debug an Intel(R) Cilk(TM) Plus Program

but it has NO info about building.

Hi,

Intel compilers compile and link Cilk Plus programs without any specific compiler flags by default.

This page contains an example showing how to create, build, and run a cilk program starting from a serial program:

On Windows it worked out of the box.

On Linux I got

/home/eda/mosekprj/dev/bld/vejle/final/default/intelc-15.0.0/dll/libmosek64.so: undefined reference to `__cilkrts_rethrow'
/home/eda/mosekprj/dev/bld/vejle/final/default/intelc-15.0.0/dll/libmosek64.so: undefined reference to `__cilkrts_sync'

scons: *** [bld/vejle/final/default/intelc-15.0.0/bin/mosek] Error 1

Most likely I have to linking with a cilk library. And that was info I was looking for.

You will have to include "-lcilkrts" in this case assuming library search path is properly set up.

FYI, cilk runtime library (libcilkrts.so, libcilkrts.so.5) is located in <compiler installation root>/lib/<arch>/, just in case you have to add library search path for some reason.

Hello - I've submitted a documentation request to update the wording on that title too. That section is really on Debugging only. Building and running content is in the less-obviously named "Introduction" section. The report id number is DPD200365882.
