Building the Application

The
ipp_blur_rotate.cpp
 sample code has been developed for Intel® IPP installed within Intel® Parallel Studio XE. You can use the provided code, except for the graphical rendering part, as a starting point for your application that can be built within other product suites like Intel® System Studio.

Setting Up the Build Environment

Before you invoke the compiler component of the suite that you installed with Intel® IPP, you must set certain environment variables that define the location of compiler-related components. The Intel® C++ Compiler includes the
compilervars
 scripts that you can run to set environment variables:
  • On Windows*, you can find the
    compilervars.bat
     batch file at
    <install-dir>\compilers_and_libraries_<
    version
    >\windows\bin\
  • On Linux OS* and macOS*, you can find the
    compilervars.sh
     shell script at
    <install-dir>\compilers_and_libraries_<
    version
    >\<linux|mac>\bin\
For more information about setting environment variables for different product suites, refer to https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/setting-up-the-build-environment-for-using-intel-c-or-fortran-compilers.

Compile and Link Your Code

To compile and link the code examples in this tutorial, do the following:
  • On Windows*:
    1. Unzip the
      ipp_blur_rotate_sample.zip
       archive downloaded from the Intel® Software Product Samples and Tutorials website.
    2. Run the Microsoft* Visual Studio* command prompt and change the directory to the
      Makefile
       location. By default,
      Makefile
       is located in the root of the
      ipp_blur_rotate_sample.zip
       archive.
    3. Run the
      nmake -f Makefile_win
       command.
  • On Linux* OS and macOS*:
    1. Unzip the
      ipp_blur_rotate_sample.tgz
       archive downloaded from the Intel® Software Product Samples and Tutorials website.
    2. Run the bash shell and change the directory to the
      Makefile
       location. By default,
      Makefile
       is located in the root of the
      ipp_blur_rotate_sample.tgz
       archive.
    3. Run the
      make -f Makefile_lin
       command on Linux* OS and
      make -f Makefile_mac
       on macOS*.
To run the application, run the following command from the directory where
Makefile
 resides:
  • On Windows*:
    ipp_blur_rotate.exe
  • On Linux*:
    ./ipp_blur_rotate
  • On macOS*:
    ./ipp_blur_rotate.app/Contents/MacOS/ipp_blur_rotate
