linking Intel Math Kernel Library

[Wolfgang]

Hi,

I am wondering if someone has ever used the Intel MKL for mathematical routines... In its latest version, it comes together with the Intel compiler. After getting the compiler to work with CVI as an external optimizing compiler I boldly tried to use one of the mathematical routines provided in their libraries.

Unfortunately, I failed and keep getting link errors. Obviously, I have not yet found the one library I need to add to the project. So if there is someone out there with a little more experience in this aspect I would be very glad to hear from it 🙂

Thanks,

Wolfgang

your problem is likely due to the way the intel library works: intel provides stub libraries which should load a processor specific dll at run-time. there should be a whole chapter about linking against this library in the documentation. read it thoroughly... then read it again...

each time i use an intel library on a project, i have to start over: i can't remember what lib i have to add to the project, what dll should be installed, and what should be in the path.

Oh, thank you!

It is good news: the topic is intricate (so my problem is not my stupidity alone)

it is bad news: the topic is intricate (so it will take a while to get solved)

But really: thanks for sharing this experience, now I am in good company
