Configuring the Eclipse* IDE CDT 4.0

Before configuring Eclipse IDE C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) 4.0, make sure to turn on the automatic makefile generation.

To configure Eclipse CDT 4.0 to link with Intel MKL, follow the instructions below:


  1. If the tool-chain/compiler integration supports include path options, go to C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols > Includes and set the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library (Intel(R) MKL) include path, that is, <mkl directory>/include.
  2. If the tool-chain/compiler integration supports library path options, go to C/C++ General > Paths and Symbols > Library Paths and set the Intel MKL library path for the target architecture, such as <mkl directory>/lib/intel64.
  3. Go to C/C++ Build > Settings > Tool Settings and specify the names of the Intel MKL libraries to link with your application, for example, mkl_intel_lp64, mkl_intel_thread_lp64, mkl_core, and iomp5 (compilers typically require library names rather than library file names, so omit the "lib" prefix and "a" extension). To learn how to choose the libraries, see Selecting Libraries to Link. The name of the particular setting where libraries are specified depends upon the compiler integration.
