Linking on IA-32 Architecture Systems

The following examples illustrate linking that uses Intel(R) compilers.

The examples use the .f Fortran source file. C/C++ users should instead specify a .cpp (C++) or .c (C) file and replace ifort with icc

Note

If you successfully completed the Setting Environment Variables step of the Getting Started process, you can omit -I$MKLINCLUDE in all the examples and omit -L$MKLPATH in the examples for dynamic linking.

In these examples,
MKLPATH=$MKLROOT/lib/ia32,
MKLINCLUDE=$MKLROOT/include :

• Static linking of myprog.f and parallel Intel MKL:

  ifort myprog.f -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE
  -Wl,--start-group $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel_thread.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group -liomp5
  -lpthread
  

• Dynamic linking of myprog.f and parallel Intel MKL:

  ifort myprog.f -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE
  -lmkl_intel -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread
  

• Static linking of myprog.f and sequential version of Intel MKL:

  ifort myprog.f -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE
  -Wl,--start-group $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_sequential.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_core.a
  -Wl,--end-group
  -lpthread
  

• Dynamic linking of myprog.f and sequential version of Intel MKL:

  ifort myprog.f -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE
  -lmkl_intel -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread
  

• Dynamic linking of user code myprog.f and parallel or sequential Intel MKL (Call the mkl_set_threading_layer function or set value of the MKL_THREADING_LAYER environment variable to choose threaded or sequential mode):

  ifort myprog.f -lmkl_rt
  

• Static linking of myprog.f, Fortran 95 LAPACK interface, and parallel Intel MKL:

  ifort myprog.f -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE -I$MKLINCLUDE/ia32
  -lmkl_lapack95
  -Wl,--start-group $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel_thread.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_core.a
  -Wl,--end-group
  -liomp5 -lpthread
  

• Static linking of myprog.f, Fortran 95 BLAS interface, and parallel Intel MKL:

  ifort myprog.f -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE -I$MKLINCLUDE/ia32
  -lmkl_blas95
  -Wl,--start-group $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel_thread.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_core.a
  -Wl,--end-group -liomp5 -lpthread
