Hi ~
I'm trying to build numpy (hopefully eventually scipy with the same setup) with the Intel compilers (and Intel MKL) on the WinXP 64-bit platform. Finding / linking to the Intel MKL seems to be successful (see below)
Unfortunately, at this stage, it does not say much about linking: distutils look for files, and do not do any sanity check beyond that.
but I have an issue with the settings defined somewhere in the various setup scripts (can't find where). Per the output below, the Intel compilers on Windows are looking for ".obj" object files rather than the Linux-style ".o" files.
I think the problem is simply that intel support in numpy for the C compiler is limited to unix. At least, a quick look at the sources did not give much informations about windows support: --compiler=intel does call for the unix version (icc, and this is called first as you can see in your log). I am actually puzzled: where is the icl.exe coming from ? grep icl gives nothing in numpy, and nothing in python - did you by any chance build python itself with the Intel compiler ? cheers, David
