[Condor-users] Intel compilers, revisited

[Steve Huston <huston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have quite a few users here who need to use the Intel compilers for
one reason or another (usually performance), however they would like to
be able to use condor_compile to create jobs for the standard universe.

Since the only information I could find on this dates from 2005, I
decided to take a drastic step - copying the condor_compile script,
replace 'gcc' with 'icc' in the tests, then tell the makefile to compile
each line with 'condor_compile icc'.  The compile worked, linked
properly, and runs fine from everything I can tell.

While I have yet to try this with a Fortarn program, I wonder aloud -
and in the direction of those who might know much better than I - if the
problems with the Intel compilers have been fixed in one way or another,
and one can actually use them with condor_compile now (and consequently,
the condor_compile script could be updated to allow for use of icc).
Anyone?
