Hello,

I have struggled for the past 2 weeks to make the code contained in the following codeproject.com article to work in the Windows 10 environment:

Lightning-Fast R Machine Learning Algorithms[^]

It seems to me that I am not correctly setting up behind the scenes (e.g. choice of compiler, the linkages in and out of the daal package, whether RTools is even compatible with compiling this, amendments to PATH variable).

As a result, I cant get the code to compile at all - an example of the errors I am currently getting (using the Intel compiler) are copied below:

What I have tried:

I have replicated the package toolchain as per the website however have now resorted to Intel XE 2018 as it sesms that previous versions were not installing correctly (and based on the intel forums, the fact that mingw may not play nicely with the daal library).

Is there a kind soul that could share a step by step so that I can replicate this article?

Many thanks,
Keyur

This might not be the final solution but should fix some errors and prevent from having other (future) problems.

You are using the Intel compiler but include the MS Visual C++ header files. Specifying the Intel include file directory ($(ICInstallDir)\compiler\include\) as very first path in the project settings (or environmental variable or make file which ever applies) will let the compiler use those instead of the MS files.

Regarding the warning #583 do what the message suggests: Use the /EHsc option (which might require changing other - conflicting - options too).
