Please help me get from zero to "Hello World" with the marvelous MKL.
Using LAPACK appears to be a great starting point because I also want to integrate some data curve fitting into an ongoing C++ console application project.
The Visual Studio 2017 Community Property Pages > Configuration Properties lists the "Intel Performance Libraries" category ... Thus I am hopeful the library "installation" is correct and that correctly specifying properties and library paths will perform the necessary magic.
I have "guessed" at these properties >>
Use Intel MKL: Sequential
Use MPI Library: Intel(R) MPI
The following four .bat files are found here >> C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2018.1.156\windows\bin
(1) compilervars.bat, (2) compilervars_arch.bat, (3) iclvars.bat, and (4) ipsxe-comp-vars.bat.
How do you choose which .bat file is correct? And (*really dumb*) is "run as administrator" within File Explorer a proper launch point ... or must the .bat file somehow be associated with the particular project? I run my project from within Visual Studio and my command line skills are almost nil. Perhaps the proper .bat file can be listed as an include file and thus properly initialize the project upon execution?
All assistance much appreciated!
