Development Environment

Microsoft Visual Studio*  

• To use the Microsoft Visual Studio* development environment or command-line tools to build Intel® 64 architecture applications these versions are supported:
  • Microsoft Visual Studio*  2019 or 2022 Community, Enterprise, and Professional Editions with 'Desktop development with C++' component installed,
  • For additional details, see the article, Intel Compilers Compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio
  • Tips on installing and integrating
• To use command-line tools only to build Intel® 64 architecture applications these versions are supported:
  • Visual Studio Build Tools*  2019 or 2022

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Extensions for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

The VS Code extensions for oneAPI Toolkits assist developers in creating, debugging, and profiling oneAPI applications. The Using Visual Studio Code with Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide provides additional details.

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

• Code Sample Browser for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
• Environment Configurator for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
• Analysis Configurator for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits
• GDB with GPU Debug Support for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits

• Extension Pack for Intel Software Developer Tools

Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux

• With Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2), you can use native Linux distribution of Intel® oneAPI tools and libraries on Windows*. For more information on usage, refer to Use Intel® oneAPI Toolkits on Microsoft* Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2)

 ​​​​​Known Issues

• For the oneAPI 2025.0 and 2024.2 release, the Microsoft Visual Studio validated versions are the same as for oneAPI 2024.1:
  • up to Visual Studio 2022   version 17.9.2
  • up to Visual Studio 2019   version 16.11.34 

           See Intel® Compilers Compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio* and Xcode*. Please be aware of this when updating Visual Studio.

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, the 17.2 update, breaks the Intel Fortran Integrations into Visual Studio. For up-to-date information, see this article.
• 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.

• The environment start up scripts have been migrated to POSIX compliant scripts. For non-POSIX shells, such as csh, there is a workaround for command-line usage for the Component Directory Layout:

      % bash -c 'source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh ; exec csh'

           For the Unified Directory Layout use

     % bash -c 'source <install-dir>/<toolkit-version>/oneapi-vars.sh ; exec csh'

Deprecation Notice

•  None

macOS*

NOTE: Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit and Intel Fortran Compilers for macOS on x86 were discontinued in the 2024.0 release.
