Software Requirements

Intel® C++ Compiler

Linux

• GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)* versions 4.8 - 8.x 
• GCC versions 5.5 and later for -qnextgen
• Binutils versions 2.20 - 2.31 

OpenMP* Offload

• GCC version 5.5 and higher
• OpenCL™ drivers (A separate installation is not required if the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit and its dependency are already installed. For details, see Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit System Requirements.

Eclipse* 

Some Intel® oneAPI Toolkits include Eclipse* plug-ins that require the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers package (aka Eclipse CDT). The plug-ins support the past two Eclipse versions that were released as of one month before the toolkit was released. For example, the 2021.2 version toolkits supported Eclipse CDT versions 2020-12 and 2020-03. The latest version of the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers install package is available at https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/.

Visual Studio Code*

• All version of Visual Studio Code* are supported to use with Intel^® oneAPI Toolkits
• Extensions are available to use with Intel^® oneAPI toolkits, including extensions to browse samples, set variables, and create launch configurations.

Visual Studio Code* Extensions for Intel^® oneAPI Toolkits

The Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extensions for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits provide assistance to developers who are creating, debugging and profiling oneAPI applications. The Using Visual Studio Code* with Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide provides additional detail.

The following VS Code extensions are available in the VS Code marketplace:

• Sample Browser for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

Cmake*

This application is required for building most samples. For installation and setup instructions, see Get Started.

Sample Browser

• To create remote Linux IoT applications install Docker*.
• To build IoT samples, you must install GCC and Cmake*:
  • Ubuntu: Enter sudo apt install build-essential.
  • Other Linux* environments: Relevant commands apply as mentioned in the sample readme.
• To build samples of other toolkits, first check the requirements in the sample read me. Most samples require:
  • GCC
  • Intel® oneAPI DPC/C++ Compiler or Intel® C++ Compiler.
  • They might also require Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks or other libraries from the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit
• To work with Python* samples,  check the oneAPI AI kit system requirements. 

IoT Plugins for Eclipse

• For integrating IoT plugins into eclipse, Refer to Eclipse* IDE section for suppported versions.
• For using Sensor Browser Plugin, mraa/upm is required.
• For using Linux Kernel Build Tools with yocto project, see Develop Yocto Project* Compatible Applications with Intel® System Studio.

Development Environments

• Microsoft Visual Studio* 2017 and 2019 Professional Edition with Desktop development with C++ chosen
• Microsoft Windows* SDK (for using only command-line tools to build applications with Intel® 64 architecture)
