The dynamic linker is just one problem when generating native FreeBSD binaries among the other hardcoded options icc passes/passed to the linker. The real problem are the libraries, the shared ones don't work though it works quite well with modified static icc libraries. However the Dinkumware STL is completely unusable on FreeBSD due to the entire different ctype implementation on FreeBSD, we use STLport instead. All in all quite hackish but works. The WIP icc7-port even works better due to fixes from Intel and port-patches to fit the icc-headers better for FreeBSD. Have a look at the icc6-port to get an idea of the hacks and modifications in order to produce native FreeBSD binaries. The ifc6-port recently also was modified in a similar way (and thus switched from producing Linux binaries to FreeBSD ones). > for the Intel compiler support team. > Great, can you say something about the likelihood of a native FreeBSD version of the compilers by Intel ? Personally I'd really buy it! Marius To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
