intel_sse2 problems when linking to gsl with icc - linker

My program links to both PETSc and gsl, and both libraries were compiled with icc. Here's the link command:
/usr/local/mpich2/bin/mpicc -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unknown-pragmas -g3 -I/usr/local/gsl-icc-1.15/include/ -I/usr/local/gsl-icc-1.15/include/ -L/usr/local/gsl-icc-1.15/lib/ -lgsl -lgslcblas prog_name.o -L/usr/local/petsc-3.2-p6/lib -lpetsc -lX11 -lpthread -llapack -lblas -L/central/intel/Compiler-11.1.072/mkl/lib/em64t -L/central/intel/Compiler-11.1.072/lib/intel64 -L/central/intel/Compiler-11.1.072/tbb/intel64/cc3.4.3_libc2.3.4_kernel2.6.9/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2 -ldl -lgcc_s -lifport -lifcore -limf -lsvml -lm -lipgo -lirc -lpthread -lirc_s -lm -lstdc++ -lstdc++ -ldl -lgcc_s -ldl -o prog_name
MPICH_CC is set to icc, so mpicc calls the intel compiler.
When I try to link to the gsl .so file, I get the following errors:
gsl-icc-1.15/lib/libgsl.so: undefined reference to `__intel_sse2_strcpy'
gsl-icc-1.15/lib/libgsl.so: undefined reference to `__intel_sse2_strchr'
gsl-icc-1.15/lib/libgsl.so: undefined reference to `__intel_sse2_strncpy'
What could be the cause of this error? Is gsl incompatible with the intel compiler?

What could be the cause of this error?
You didn't show us your link command, but my crystall ball tells me that you are trying to link libgsl.so with ld (or perhaps with gcc), instead of icc.
In general, one should never link anything directly with ld on UNIX. Always use appropriate compiler driver (icc in this case).

I also get the same error message when linking some code with gcc against a PETSc version that was compiled with icc. Even more, when using the newest Intel 12.x compiler for the final code, and compiling PETSc with Intel 11.x results in the same error message as Intel 12.x uses 11.x.
So check, that mpicc really use the Intel 11.1.072 compiler. Check for mpic++ -show and which icc.

Maybe the intel environment not set.
Try the following environment setting:
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/iccvars_intel64.sh
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/ifortvars_intel64.sh
make the folder to your Intel Compiler folder. Some version's environment setting is different, you can also try:
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/iccvars.sh intel64
source /etc/Intel_Compiler/10.0/XXXX/ifortvars.sh intel64
Hope helpfully.

Linking portaudio into a C program on Linux

Problem with linking portaudio into an c program on Linux.
System: Linux Ubuntu 20.4 i5 16 GB
ALSA and pulseaudio were preinstralled.
gcc (Ubuntu 9.3.0-17ubuntu1~20.04) 9.3.0
gcc -Wall wm_1.c -lm libportaudio.a -o wm_1
The linker gives me more than 100 error messages all of type "undefined reference"
Here 2 examples out of >100
/home/max/Desktop/dev/portaudio/src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c:504: undefined reference to snd_pcm_status_get_delay' /home/max/Desktop/dev/portaudio/src/hostapi/oss/pa_unix_oss.c:1778: undefined reference to __pthread_unregister_cancel'
So its obvious that the named parameter/function can not be found.
The error messages all point to source files in the source directory (the directory of the portaudio
package I downloaded to creatie the libs which were all created without error.
The libs are in /usr/local/..
libportaudio.a libportaudio.la libportaudio.so libportaudio.so.2 libportaudio.so.2.0.0 pkgconfig python3.8
and I copied libportaudio.a into the project directory. The lib has a a size of 1.1 MB .
if I use the dynamic libportaudio.so I get the error messages at run time.
I suspect that something went totally wrong with creating the libraries but I have no idea how to solve that
Other option:
Linking parameter or files missing ?
Header file ?
The same program compiles, links and runs without any problem on a iMac OS 10.13.6
where I used the dynamic lib .dylib.
gcc -v wm_1.c libportaudio.dylib -o wm_1
From the documentation:
Note that you will usually need to link with the approriate libraries that you used, such as ALSA and JACK, as well as with librt and libpthread. For example:
gcc main.c libportaudio.a -lrt -lm -lasound -ljack -pthread -o YOUR_BINARY
A little googling goes a long way...
This works:
gcc -Wall wm_1.c -lm libportaudio.a -lasound -pthread -o test.
gcc main.c libportaudio.a -lrt -lm -lasound -ljack -pthread -o YOUR_BINARY
I used that page and the command line at the begin using all 3 parameter but got errors, probably of misspelling, so I gave up on that (also because on the Mac OS it was not necessary). It now links without errors using -lasound and -pthread only (-pthread alone gives still errors and the use/not use of -ljack makes no difference).
I get some errors when I run the program but probably because of missing or wrong ALSA parameter settings. I found -pthread but I could not find -ljack and -lasound.
So the question: what are this 2 parameter doing?
It must be link parameter, but where is the documentation, I searched ld and gcc and did not find anything, while -pthread is documented.

Linking with shared libraries

I'm trying to compile and link some .c file. I have been using Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers, and in my local machine i can compile without problems. However, when i try to compile and link the same file in a RedHat OS (gcc version is 4.9.2-6 in this OS) i'm having problems. I get some warnings at compile time, but those are fine, i think, i just ignored and the application still runs fine. Here are the commands i executed and the associated output:
gcc -O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0 -std=c99 -MMD -MP -MF"example.d" -MT"example.d" -o "example.o" "example.c"
warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
warning: implicit declaration of function ‘wait’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
This generates two files, example.d and example.o. Then, i try to link them, without luck, with the following command:
gcc -Xlinker -L/usr/lib -lrt -static -pthread example.o -o example
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lrt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The commands are taken directly from the ones that Eclipse generates, and work just fine in my local computer (Ubuntu OS) but not in the RedHat environment. The last command didn't work, with and without the -L option. I suppose the directory in -L is fine, as i run, for example,
locate libpthread.so
And one of the locations i get is /usr/lib (also /usr/lib64, but neither work).
Any help will be greatly appreciated!! :)
If you try to link a static executable, it will look for the *.a versions of the libraries, not what you usually want. Remove the -static flag. Or you can install the static libraries if you really want to. It also should not be necessary to add -L/usr/lib explicitly.

Does gcc -nostdlib prevent explicit appending of standardlibs?

If I call the GCC Linker with the option -nostdlib does this override any manual/explicit appendecis of standardlibs?
GCC is 4.8.1 from MinGW.
Example:
gcc -nostdlib [MyObjectsAndLibraries] -lmsvcrt -o Outfile
Since libmsvcrt is a standard library, will it be added to the link process or will it be ignored? I can't find any reliable data on this., this is why I would also appreciate some kind of source to this.
In this context, "standard libraries" means the libraries that gcc would implicitely link by default. Libraries explicitely mentioned on the command line will always be linked. In fact, gcc documentation at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.2/gcc/Link-Options.html#Link-Options even points out that unless you really know what you're doing you should add explicitely -lgcc when using -nostdlib, as the compiler may rely on some builtins defined in it:
In other words, when you specify -nostdlib or -nodefaultlibs you should usually specify -lgcc as well. This ensures that you have no unresolved references to internal GCC library subroutines.
Since I found this on Google,
#Virgile's answer is enough, but you may run into linker errors when you link with the style of command you gave. There is two steps to program building: compile and link. You can use GCC to do one or the other or both at the same time.
It is important to note the order of which you specify things. In your build, it may be problematic because your exe never gets linked with msvcrt or gcc. Including two libraries which have potentially the same symbols is also very bad.
Here is canonical build and link statements
gcc -g0 -O2 -Wall -nostdlib -c *.c
gcc -g0 -O2 -Wall -nostdlib -o a.exe *.o -lmsvcrt -lgcc
gcc -g0 -O2 -Wall -nostdlib -o a.exe *.c -lmsvcrt -lgcc

Segmentation fault during running for mkl's interface

I am running mkl_lab_solution.c which is an example for using MKL, I can compile it correctly, while I run it, I got Segmentation fault.My runtime is below:
OS is centos 6.3
gcc's version is 4.1.2
mkl is mkl_10.3.12.361
makefile is below
gcc -g -L/opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.12.361/mkl/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_ilp64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_intel_sp2dp -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -lpthread -L/opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.12.361/compiler/lib/intel64 -liomp5 -L/usr/lib64 -lstdc++ -I/opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.12.361/mkl/include -o test mkl-lab-solution.c
Since this works fine on my system, let me point you to possible errors.
First, you need to run . /path/to/intel/compilervars.sh intel64 such all environment variables are set, like MKLROOT.
Second, check on intel mkl link line advisor for the options on your system. So reading your compile command I guess: linux, gnu compiler, dynamic linked, 64 bit target architecture, 64 bit long pointer, multithreaded, intel omp library.
These settings give me:
linker options:
-L$(MKLROOT)/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_ilp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread -lm
compile options:
-DMKL_ILP64 -m64 -I$(MKLROOT)/include
For whatever reason the brackets around MKLROOT don't work on bash, so just remove them.
Next remember to put all compile options in front of linker options. The final command line should read like this:
gcc mkl-lab-solution.c -DMKL_ILP64 -m64 -I$MKLROOT/include -L$MKLROOT/lib/intel64 -lmkl_intel_ilp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core -liomp5 -lpthread -lm
Since you get runtime errors, I suspect that you are linking the Intel MKL libraries with objects compiled for different interface layers.

Cannot compile using ALSA

I am trying to create an C application on Debian GNU/Linux which uses the PortAudio interface. To do this I must compile my program with gcc -lrt -lasound -ljack -lpthread -o YOUR_BINARY main.c libportaudio.a from this docs.
For this I installed libasound2-dev, and I checked where the files are using apt-file search libasound.so, this is the output:
lib32asound2: /usr/lib32/libasound.so.2
lib32asound2: /usr/lib32/libasound.so.2.0.0
lib32asound2-dev: /usr/lib32/libasound.so
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2
libasound2: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so.2.0.0
libasound2-dev: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libasound.so
So the libasound should be installed correctly, but when I compile my program with this makefile:
DMXTest: main.c libdmx.a
gcc -static -Wall main.c -L. -ldmx -lusb -lrt -lasound -ljack -lfftw3 -g -o main libportaudio.a
I get the following error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lasound.
How can I link this library correctly?
You don't have libasound.a for -static, you will need that, or you can almost certainly just remove -static from the Makefile (likely in LDFLAGS or CFLAGS).
There's is a related Debian bug 522544, and a related Ubuntu bug #993959.
You may be able to build your own libasound from source, though as it also uses other libraries (notably libpthread.so, librt.so and libdl.so) I suspect it may remove some functionality when you build it statically, though it's supported with ./configure --enable-static at build time
(or try --enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes).
FWIW, the use of static binaries is "discouraged" by the glibc maintainers, though I don't agree...
To compile my code i used the following command
gcc -o rec_mic rec_mic.c -lasound
and it works perfectly, without create my own static library.
