[CMake] CMake problem with intel parallel studio 2017

[Mamales, Petros]

Hi,

I try to create Visual Studio 2015 (VS2015) solutions with the intel c++ compiler from Intel Parallel Studio XE (iPSXE) 2017.
(win7 64bit ).
Apparently, the toolset is identified correctly but the compiler is not, due to some tests that do not manage to link.
I have 2 questions:

a)      How does the identification of the toolset proceed? (I used the -T command line option)

b)      Apparently the linker fails to find some (math) libraries located in the installation directory of the toolchain. There is some chance that intel's installation is problematic but accepting this to be the state of things, what can be done?

1)      How are these tests really run?

2)      How is the toolset endowed with the necessary include and link/lib directories (within CMake).

3)      How can I append more of these directories to "help" the compiler identification and/or attributes discovery?
TIA,
(I will greatly appreciate any relevant info)
Petros

PS: I show here the first part of the error log, for concreteness:
