Using Makefiles to Store Information for Compilation

Linux* OS and OS X*:

To run make from the command line using Intel® C++ Compiler, make sure that /usr/bin is in your path.

To use the Intel® compiler, your makefile must include the setting CC=icpc. Use the same setting on the command line to instruct the makefile to use the Intel® compiler. If your makefile is written for gcc, the GNU* C compiler, you will need to change those command line options not recognized by the Intel® compiler. Run make, using the following syntax:

make -f my_makefile

Argument

Description

-f

the nmake option to specify a particular makefile.

my_makefile.mak

the makefile to use to generate object and executable files.

CPP

the makefile to use to generate object and executable files.

LINK32

the linker to use.

The nmake command creates object files (.obj) and executable files (.exe) from the information provided in the makefile.
