Yup. http://www.releasesoftware.com/_intelbetacenteronlinux/cgi-bin/pd.cgi?page=product_info&pid=P8DA1D8030D1511D5BEB5001000D The problem is that the compiler is Linux only. This in itself creates three small problems: * the runtime objects are Linux and binary only * the runtime objects depend on the linux rtld * the compiler doesn't brand the resulting binaries The only problem with fbsd headers that I've been able to notice was that icc has an wchar_t type. Thus the typedef is unnecesary. - alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
