Enable
Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB)
in your Build Environment

If you use the
Intel® C++ Compiler Classic
 or
Intel® oneAPI
DPC++/C++
 Compiler
 from the command line, specify the following option when you build your program:
  • For Windows* OS:
    /Qtbb
  • For Linux* OS:
    -tbb
This option tells the compiler to link with the
Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB)
libraries. If you use other compilers, please see your
oneTBB
or compiler documentation.
With
Intel Advisor
 samples, to use the
oneTBB
project (
_tbb
), you might need to define the
TBBROOT
 environment variable (see the help topic Define the TBBROOT Environment Variable) and specify the
TBBROOT
/
include
 directory as an additional include path when compiling
(in build properties on Windows OS)
.
The following instructions are for using the Visual Studio* development environment on a Windows OS system.
Modify the project properties for each of your Visual Studio project build configurations (debug, release, and so on). You can set multiple properties by using the Configuration Properties with Visual Studio:
  1. In Solution Explorer, select (click) the name of one or more projects. To select multiple projects, hold down the
    Ctrl
     key.
  2. With Visual Studio:
    • Right-click the project name(s) and select
      Configuration Properties
       >
      Intel Performance Libraries
       >
      Intel oneAPI Threading Building Blocks
      .
    • On the
      Use oneTBB
       line, specify
      Yes
      .
    If you change the version of
    oneTBB
    or the Visual Studio version installed on your system, you may see build errors related to
    oneTBB
    libraries. In this case, reset the integration by repeating the above steps to uncheck, and then check, the
    Use oneTBB
     box. See the
    Intel Advisor
     release notes for more information.
  3. Click
    OK
     to save the specified properties.
  4. Repeat the steps above for other configurations.
This procedure defines multiple properties to set up your build environment to use
oneTBB
.
