The following topic applies to
Xcode*.
To select the Intel®
C++
Compiler:
- Select the target you want to change and click
Build Rules.
- Add a new rule by clicking
Editor > Add Build
Rule or pressing the
+ button.
- Under
Process, choose
C source
files
or
C++ source files
, depending on your source files.
- Under
Using, select one of the options for the
ICC Intel®
C++Compiler:
- Major_Version, such as
18.0: The most recently installed compiler,
even if it is not the latest release.
- Latest Release: The latest released compiler
available on your system. This is useful when you have multiple installations
of the Intel compiler and want to use the version most recently released by
Intel.
- Major_Version.n.nnn:
A specific package, such as 18.0.0.055. This is useful when you have multiple
packages of one major version installed.
Note
If the Intel®
compiler does not show up in the drop-down list, it may mean that the Intel®
compiler does not support the version of Xcode* that you are using. To enable
the Intel® compiler in Xcode*:
- Reinstall the compiler. When the installer prompts you to
specify a path to Xcode*, specify a path to a supported version of Xcode*.
- After the install has finished, open a terminal window and
change directory to the installation directory for the Intel® Compiler IDE
integration:
cd /Library/Application\ Support/Developer/
- Create a symbolic link for a new, unsupported version of
Xcode*:
sudo ln -s supported_xcode_version unsupported_xcode_version
For example:
sudo ln -s 7.1 7.2
- Restart Xcode*.
Note
If you select a tool that does not
support the source file type, that source file type is processed by a later
rule that specifies that type. For example, even though Objective-C/C++ sources
are derived from C sources, they are built by the Intel® C++ Compilers.
