I'm building a custom Intel MKL DLL (2019 Update 2) using the following command:
nmake libintel64 MKLROOT="C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries\windows\mkl" name=win\intel64\custom_mkl interface="lp64"
Using dumpbin I can see the the custom_mkl.dll depends on MSVCR120.DLL and libiomp5md.dll. The second dll seems to be ok and has to redistributed as well.
Is it possible to build a custom Intel MKL DLL which doesn't depend on MSVCR120.DLL?
I saw that there is a crt = <c run-time library> parameter but I don't know if this could help.
I cannot directly use the /MT option with the above command.
I can build a custom Intel MKL DLL which doesn't depend on MSVCR120.DLL using the following command with the addition argument crt=libcmt.lib:
nmake libintel64 MKLROOT="C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries\windows\mkl" name=win\intel64\custom_mkl interface="lp64" crt=libcmt.lib
The following answer helped me:
There are 4 versions of the CRT link libraries present in vc\lib:
- libcmt.lib: static CRT link library for a release build (/MT)
- libcmtd.lib: static CRT link library for a debug build (/MTd)
- msvcrt.lib: import library for the release DLL version of the CRT (/MD)
- msvcrtd.lib: import library for the debug DLL version of the CRT (/MDd)
