cmake build failed - icpx: error: unknown argument: '-MDd'

vscode terminal

I followed the readme.md instructions to install Installing DPC++ ("To set up DPC++ follow the getting started instructions.") and was able to build the simple-add example in https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneAPI-samples. But when I try to use the same steps to cmake build syclacademy, I get the following cmake error (the attached file has the cmake output when using cmake --trace).

The command I used to setup my environment in powershell is
cmd.exe "/K" '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" && powershell'

I am using the generator option -G "NMake Makefiles" as per the readme in oneAPI-samples repo's simple-add example.

I deleted the build directory and tried the following cmake command using -G"Visual Studio 17 2022" -A"x64" instead of -G "NMake Makefiles" , but got the error below:

IntelSYCL_FOUND to FALSE so package "IntelSYCL" is considered to be NOT FOUND

According to the header in IntelSYCLConfig.cmake, IntelSYCL_FOUND = TRUE when "the system has the SYCL library". So obviously I don't have the lib.
But, isn't installing the oneAPI Base Toolkit not the same as installing said libraries?

I also tried MSVC 2019. Same "IntelSYCL_FOUND to FALSE" error

Hi @SailingDreams,

I believe if you try to set the compiler as icl.exe for both the C and CXX compilers, as well as use the NMake option, that should work, though I don't have a Windows install to hand to the moment to test. I believe in the first attempt you made it thinks that it is running on a GNU-like system so gets confused. It appears that when you select the generator types as Visual Studio, it is forcing the use of cl.exe (i.e. Microsoft's compiler), which will definitely fail to configure.

[SailingDreams]

Thanks for getting back to me.
I do not have icl.exe, but this allowed cmake to build - I changed the CXX compiler from icpx to icx.
syclacademy\build> cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" -DSYCL_ACADEMY_USE_DPCPP=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icx ..

Bilding the project was successful. I used nmake

Great, I'm glad it's working!
