Title: Intel C++ v11.1 with Code::Blocks (trouble in paradise)
Post by: lkeene on July 22, 2009, 08:25:46 pm
Hi folks:

I've downloaded and installed a trial version of the Intel C++ compiler (v11.1) to use with Code::Blocks. I'm a Code::Blocks newbie and have just downloaded/installed it the other day. I also have VS2008 installed on my XP box. I followed the plug-in instructions for the Intel compiler (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_a_supported_compiler) with the appropriate modifications to the install paths. When I try to compile and run the usual "Hello World" program to make sure everything is working normally, I get a small dialog window crop up saying:

"It seems that this project has not been built yet. Do you want to build it now?"

If I click "Yes", some red text flashes for a fraction of a second in the build output window...it can't be read because it's on the screen for a fraction of a second...and then the dialog reappears. The whole process repeats infinitely. What could be the problem here?

Update:

By rapidly clicking on the "Yes" button I'm able to partially read the red text that flashes in the compiler output window at the bottom of the screen. I believe it is saying "icl.exe........unable to execute".

I have verified that the compiler is installed and functioning as I am able to invoke it from both the command prompt as well as VS2008. What things do I need to check to ensure that I have it properly configured in Code::Blocks?

Did you turn on full Compiler logging?

Hi Tim.

I just switched on compiler logging and recompiled. I get the same effect i.e. the build window flashes with text and then refreshes itself, the dialog window comes up again, etc. Impossible to read.

I then selected "Save build log to HTML file when build is finished" and rebuilt. Same problem (of course)...but where has the file containing the log been saved to so that I can read it? Thanks.
