Introduction
This document provides details about hardware, operating system, and software prerequisites for the Intel C++ Compiler Classic
Supported Host Operating Systems
The following distributions are supported.
Linux* Host
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 8, 9
- Fedora* 37
- Ubuntu* LTS 20.04, 22.04
- SuSE LINUX Enterprise Server* 15 SP3, SP4
- Debian* 9, 10, 11
- Rocky Linux* 8, 9
- Amazon Linux* 2, 2022
- WSL* 2
Note: These OS distributions are tested by Intel or known to work; other distributions may work but are not recommended. If you have questions, access the Intel Community Forums when you need assistance. If you have Commercial Support, create a support ticket.
Windows* Host
- Microsoft Windows Pro and Enterprise* 10
- Microsoft Windows Pro and Enterprise* 11
- Microsoft Windows Server* 2019
- Microsoft Windows Server* 2022
Using Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) in Windows 10 and Windows 11, you can install the native Linux distribution of Intel oneAPI toolkits and libraries on Windows for CPU and GPU workflows. Details here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/use-oneapi-toolkits-on-wsl-2.html
macOS* Host
- macOS* Ventura 13
- macOS* Monterey 12
Note: macOS* support for Mac* computers with Intel® Processors
Note:There is an issue with IDE integration. For Xcode* IDE integration support in this release, use the legacy build system.
Note: Using Xcode 14.0.1 and higher, there is a potential link error. For the details, please refer to Intel® C++ Compiler Classic Release Notes
Xcode for command line
-
You can install just the Xcode Command Line Tools with this command from a terminal window:
xcode-select --install -
When linking with Xcode 12.0, Xcode 12.1 or Xcode 12.2 some libraries are not found.
To workaround-
Install Xcode, then run:
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/DeveloperThen accept the license (only if you haven't yet) by:
sudo xcodebuild -license
Notes:
In order to gain all functionality and optimal performance with Intel® oneAPI for macOS* we recommend installing both the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit
AND the Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit. Both toolkits should be downloaded and installed for optimal performance and to obtain all available Intel PerformanceLibraries. Please refer to the Installation Guide for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits for obtaining and installing both toolkits.
Supported Target Hardware Platforms
- CPU Processors:
- Intel® Core™ Processor family
- Intel® Xeon® Processor family
- Intel® Xeon® Scalable Performance processors
Software Requirements
Development Environment on Linux
- GCC vesion - 4.8.5 - 11.2
- BINUTILS version - 2.27 - 2.35
- GLIBC version - 2.17 - 2.33
Development Environment on Windows
- Microsoft Visual Studio* 2017 with 'Desktop development with C++' component installed
- Microsoft Visual Studio* 2019 with 'Desktop development with C++' component installed
-
Microsoft Visual Studio* 2022 Community, Enterprise and Professional Editions with 'Desktop development with C++' component installed are supported, except for use with Intel® Inspector and Intel® Advisor.
- For addtional details see the article, Intel Compilers Compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio and Xcode.
To use command-line tools only to build Intel® 64 architecture applications you need build tools from Microsoft Visual Studio*.
Deprecation Notices
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 integration is deprecated starting in 2022.0 release and will be removed in a future release.
- These operating systems are deprecated in the Intel oneAPI 2022.1 release, and will be removed in a future release:
- Windows Server 2016*
- Ubuntu* 18.04 LTS
- CentOS* 7
- Fedora* 34
- The operating system SLES 15 SP3 was deprecated in release, Intel oneAPI 2023.2, and will be removed in a future release.
Known Issue
-
If you installed Intel compilers as part of the oneAPI 2023.2 release of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, the Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit, the Intel® oneAPI IoT Toolkit, or from the oneAPI Standalone Component page, please install the appropriate patch for your environment.
Two patches are now available, one for each of the Intel C++ and Fortran compilers, that were published as part of oneAPI 2023.2:
* Intel® oneAPI DPC+/C+ Compiler and Intel® C++ Compiler Classic
* Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic and Intel® Fortran CompilerThe patch version is 2023.2.1.
These patches apply only to Linux* and Windows*.
These patches resolve the issue of missing Environment Modules utility modulefiles and other issues.
The patches are available on the Intel® Registration Center, other distribution channels, like APT, YUM, and the standalone component page.
- Intel® oneAPI Toolkits 2022.1.3 and earlier and Intel® Parallel Studio XE (any version) do not support Microsoft Visual Studio 2022. On systems with Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 installed, Intel® oneAPI and Intel® Parallel Studio XE installers may fail during installation, upgrade, modification, or uninstallation. Refer to this article for more information.
