Re: [Condor-users] Intel compilers, revisited

[Steve Huston <huston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't heard a response to this question, but then I sent it late on
a Friday too.. so maybe early-ish Tuesday will catch peoples inboxes at
a better time :>

Anyone with insight to how condor_compile does its magic, and if its
magic would finally work with the Intel compilers?  My tests seemed to
say yes, at least somewhat, but I don't know if there's some hidden
gotcha just waiting to ruin the day (and output of someone's
long-running job).
