Running FFTW Wrapper Library troubles
Hi,
I asked my admins to built the FFTW wrapper library according to these instructions:
http://www.intel.com/software/products/mkl/docs/fftw3xmkl_notes.htm
It looks like everything has been done (new library files have appeared) but for some reason my programmes having FFTW code have not been compiled (whilst everything was working when using g++).
I've tried also several Examples (.../intel/Compiler/11.0/081/mkl/examples/fftw3xc) but still the compilation did not succeeded.
Assuming that we consider example file complex_3d_double_ex1.c the compilation returns:

Hello Kazik,

When you enter the comand :
make libem64t complex_3d_double_ex1, 
It will rebuild libfftw3xc_intel.a to current directory.
But from the error message : mkdir: cannot create directory `/local/intel/Compiler/11.0/081/mkl/examples/fftw3xc/lib': Read-only file system ,
looks you haven't write right with the directory?  Could you please check it and add write if possible?

Regarding icpc problem, icpc is supposed for c++ file. Since dfti_example_support.c complex_3d_double_ex1.c are c language, you may use icc to build them for example.

icc  -I/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/083/mkl/include/fftw   source/complex_3d_double_ex1.c source/dfti_example_support.c -L./lib/em64t -lfftw3xc_intel -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread -o complex_3d_double_ex1


You mentioned g++ can work? do you use special compiler option when build the complex_3d_double_ex1.c ?
(my test show g++ show many compiler error too, where if use gcc, the compile processing is ok).


Best Regards,
Ying

Hello Ying,

I'm sorry for the delay in answering. To make the story short:
1) Yes, using icc helped and I compiled the examples successfully.
2) My biggest mistake with the code that I have written on my own was that I have implemented some functions from the previous version of FFTW, which were not supported by FFTW3 any more (as Was suggested in one of the previous posts). When I've rewritten the code using FFTW3-functions everything went OK. So it was basically very silly mistake...

Thank you for your post, I've almost lost a hope that this discussion forum is alive.
