I downloaded an evaluation copy of the Intel compiler for Mac and tried (so
far unsuccessfully) to configure with it. I have tried:
CC=icc ./configure --prefix=$HOME/tmp/icc-python
That failed computing the size of size_t because it tries to incorrectly link
with -lgcc_s.
Then I tried forcing it to not use gcc:
CC=icc ./configure --without-gcc --prefix=$HOME/tmp/icc-python
That failed because of a bug in configure.in:
case $withval in
no) CC=cc
without_gcc=yes;;
yes) CC=gcc
without_gcc=no;;
*) CC=$withval
without_gcc=$withval;;
It ignores the CC value on the command line. I fixed that like so:
case $withval in
no) CC=${CC:-cc}
without_gcc=yes;;
yes) CC=gcc
without_gcc=no;;
*) CC=$withval
without_gcc=$withval;;
and reran autoconf. Now I'm back to the -lgcc_s problem. "gcc_s" is not
mentioned in configure. It's accessed implicitly. Poking around in the icc
man page didn't yield any obvious clues. (I did try using the -gcc-name and
-gxx-name flags. They didn't help.) Is there some way to configure Python
for use with icc on a Mac?
Thanks,
Skip
