Intel C++ or Fortran Compiler for Windows Silent Installation Guide

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 12:09:05 -0700

Introduction: This article describes how to perform a "silent" (non-interactive) install of Intel C++ Compiler for Windows or Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for Windows. It applies to version 11.1; it is not applicable to earlier versions of the product. An administrator may wish to use a silent install to make the product available in an automated fashion on users systems.

Other Silent Install articles:

Intel C++ and Fortran Compilers for Linux Silent Install Guide

Step 1

If you are installing from a downloaded product package (file type .EXE), you must unpack the package to a convenient directory on your (adminisrator's) system or to a network share. The simplest way to do that is to run the EXE and specify the path for where the files should be unpacked. This is done with the following dialog (Fortran example shown, C++ is similar):

Click the Extract button to do the extraction. When the setup reaches the Welcome screen, click Cancel to exit the installation.

Step 2

Either copy the installation file tree to the target system or reference it from a network share. On the target system, from an account with Administrator privilege, run the setup.exe in the unpacked folder with the required arguments. Note that if the path to setup.exe includes blanks, you must enclose the file path in quotes, for example:

"E:\Unpacked Files\Intel\w_cproc_p_11.1.038\setup.exe"

or

"E:\Unpacked Files\Intel\w_cprof_p_11.1.038\setup.exe"

The form of the silent install command is:

setup.exe install argument [argument]...

Where each argument is described in sections below. The command invoking setup.exe will return immediately.

Required arguments:

--output=filespec

This specifies the path to the file where output from the install will be directed. If the path is not complete, it will use the path to setup.exe as a default.

--eula=accept | reject

This specifies whether you accept or reject the End User License Agreement. If reject is specified, the installation will exit.

Optional arguments:

--installdir=path_for_installation_folder

Specifies a path for the installation folder. If not specified, the default is used. Please read the compiler Release Notes for details.

--license-path_to_license_file

Specifies the path to the license file to be used on this system. The file should have a file type of .LIC, or you may specify a folder path and the installer will examine all .LIC files in that folder for an appropriate license. If you do not specify either --license or --sn, the installer will look on the system to see if an appropriate license already exists.

--sn=serial_number

Specifies the serial number for the license to be used on this system. Use either --sn or --license, not both. The serial number is in the form xxxx-xxxxxxx. If --sn is used, a network connection to the Internet must be available during installation.

--update=no | always

Specifies the behavior if the product is already installed. "no" will end the installation if the current version (any update) is installed. "always" will remove the latest version before installing the new one. The default is "no".

Example command

"E:\Unpacked Files\Intel\w_cprof_p_11.1.038\setup.exe" install --output=C:\Logs\log.txt --sn=ABCD-1234567

Unresolved external symbol ___intel_sse2_strlen

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:45:38 -0700

Problem :
After I have upgraded the compiler from Intel C++ compiler 10.1 to 11.1.038, in the linking stage, we get the errors like this:

unresolved external symbol ___intel_sse2_strlen

Environment :

Intel C++ compiler, Linux and Windows

Root Cause :

Proper libirc.lib is not included during linking.

Resolution :

The symbol is defined in libirc.lib.

On Linux you may try the following:

$nm /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/038/lib/intel64/libirc.a | grep strlen
U strlen
U strlen
faststrlen.o:
0000000000000000 T __intel_sse2_strlen
0000000000000030 T __intel_sse4_strlen

The Intel compiler driver will automatically include this. If you are not using icc or icpc then please include above library in linker command. You may try adding the compiler option -# to see the library being searched, and whether it is the older version.

On Windows you may try the following:
C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\11.1\038\lib\ia32\> dumpbin /symbols libirc.lib|find /I "strlen"

faststrlen.c
005 00000000 SECT1 notype () External | ___intel_sse2_strlen
008 00000000 SECT2 notype () External | ___intel_sse4_strlen
027 00000000 UNDEF notype () External | _strlen
007 00000000 UNDEF notype () External | _strlen
017 00000000 UNDEF notype () External | _strlen

In Visual Studio IDE, you may try the following to check where the "libirc.lib" is found and to make sure if it is the same version as the compiler version.

1. Select "Release" config
2. Open the project propety window, select "Link -> General"
2. Set "Show Progress" as "Displays Some Progress Messages (/VERBOSE:LIB)"
3. rebuild

Intel Compilers 10.1.018 and older do not work with Visual C++ Express 2008

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:45:49 -0700

Problem :
I am trying to build a simple console app from the command line using version Intel C++ compiler 10.0.025 using VS2008 express edition.

I am getting the following error:

C:\Users\WHMoweryJr\Documents\DeepLearninToga 1.9\DeepLearninToga 1.9.10\src\uti
l.h(9): catastrophic error: could not open source file "cstdio"
#include
^

Environment :

Intel C++ compiler 10.0.025, Visual C++ Express 2008

Resolution :

Intel C++ compiler 10.1.018 and older may be used only with VS 2005 Express Edition.

The Intel C++ compiler 10.1.019 and 11.x supports both VS2005 express edition and VS2008 express edition.

Message catalog file not opening in Russian Windows OS

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:00:51 -0700

Problem :

When compiling with Intel(R) C++ 11.1.035 [IA-32] using MS VS2008 IDE under Russian Windows XP OS, we get the following warning.
1>warning #13000: could not open message catalog file:
1>charstest.cpp
1>warning #13000: could not open message catalog file: diagscUI.dll
We could compile without this warning using Intel C++ compiler 11.0.074 and older.
Is 11.1 trying to automatically detect the locale language and select localized message catalog?

Environment :
Intel C++ compiler 11.1 for Windows, VS2008 English, Windows XP (Russian).

Resolution :

Yes. It seems that Intel C++ compiler 11.1 is trying to automatically detect the locale language and select localized message catalog. You may copy locale 1033 (English) catalog to 1049 (Russian locale) and compiler would not display the warning.

Excluding functions from code coverage report

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:58:00 -0700

Problem :

I am using codecov Version 9.1 Build 20070512Z. I want to exclude certain function from my code coverage report. Could you explain this with an example?

Environment :

Intel C++ compiler, codecov, Linux or Windows

Resolution :

You may use code coverage option -onelinedsbl INFEASIBLE to exclude function from you’re your code coverage report. This is explained using an example below:

// tstcase.cpp
#include

void call_func2()
{ // INFEASIBLE
printf("hello 2\n");
}

int main()
{
printf ("hello 1\n");
call_func2();
return 0;
}

I have used Intel C++ compiler 11.1.035 for windows. I compiled and run using following commands

c:\>icl /Qprof-gen:srcpos tstcase.cpp
c:\> testcase
c:\> profmerge
c:\> codecov -onelinedsbl INFEASIBLE

The codecov reports coverage for only one function.

If I use command "codecov" without above option and view the report, I could see two function covered.

Unable to read and write using C++ file stream

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 23:36:07 -0700

Problem :
For years in Fortran95, I've been reading and writing files into various directories of my choice, thus keeping our data files in an orderly fashion. However, now I am shocked to find that you can't do anything like that in C++.

Please tell me if there is a way, and give me an example.

Environment :
Intel C++ compiler for Linux*

Resolution :

This is not a compiler issue. You need to have suitable access rights to the file. You can take help from system administrator to get suitable access rights for the file. I am providing a sample test case that I tried at my end in FC11 box. It works without issue.

// file_rw.cpp
//

#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char str[2000] ;
    fstream fs( "/testdir/prt1.txt", ios::in ) ;

    if(!fs) {
        cout << "Cannot open input file.\n";
        return 1;
    }

    fstream ft( "/testdir/prt2.txt", ios::out | ios::in ) ;
    if(!ft) {
        cout << "Cannot open output file.\n";
        return 1;
    }

    while ( !fs.eof() )
    {
        fs.getline(str, 2000 ) ;
        ft << str << endl;
    }
    fs.close () ;
    ft.close ();
    return 0;
}
