[Paraview] Re: intel compilers on OSX

[Dan White]

Hi Mike,

I have built VTK with python(universal) wrappings
on an intel macbook pro with the 0.29 version of the intel compilers.
That's always been with recent CVS versions of VTK.
Not sure what VTK version you are using.

so it might be a problem with the 0.30 version of the intel  
compilers...?

I noticed that many of the VTK .dylibs i generate link against
libGuide.dylib, which is one of the intel libs

Watch out, the install_name of the intel libs are not set correctly
and i have been having problems getting the install_names set correctly
on
make install
and also using
py2app

this means that if you forget to run
>> source /opt/intel/cc/9.1.029/bin/iccvars.sh
then you will be in trouble at runtime, as the intel libs
will not be in the dynamic library path

(shouldn't it be the .profile not the .bashrc that you add that to?)

I have also had success using the compiler flag -xP for optimisation
for the intel core duo chip in the MacBook Pro.
Seemed to make some of our custom VTK C++ code faster.
I suppose thats the point of using those compilers in the first place.

cheers

Dan
