Describe the bug
Can't compile CHOLMOD

To Reproduce
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icc -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icc -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifort -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="E:/umfpackCompilerWork/SuiteSparse7.7" -DSUITESPARSE_ENABLE_PROJECTS="umfpack"
the result of cmake stored in config.log
config.log
msbuild SuiteSparse.sln /p:Configuration=Release > compile.log
the result of build stored in compile.log
compile.log

Expected behavior
normal compilation

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• compiler MSVC
• intel mkl
• Version 7.7.0

Additional context
I found -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icc -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icc also not work.

I meet this error on Mac,how do you fixed it ?

[mmuetzel]

I tried to reproduce the error with the following steps on Windows 11 23H2 (but it built without error for me):

• Download and install MSVC 2022 (version 17.9.6)
• Download and install Intel oneAPI 2024.1
• Open the "Intel oneAPI command prompt for Intel 64 for Visual Studio 2022" shell with the shortcut in the Windows Start menu.
• Run the following commands (icc or ifort didn't install for me with the steps described above):

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icx-cl -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx-cl -DSUITESPARSE_ENABLE_PROJECTS="umfpack" --fresh ..
cmake --build . --config Release    
ctest . -C Release

Could you please describe the exact steps to reproduce the error that you are seeing?

[DragonPara]

I meet this error on Mac,how do you fixed it ?

cmake .. DSUITESPARSE_ENABLE_PROJECTS="umfpack" -DSUITESPARSE_USE_CUDA=OFF -DSUITESPARSE_USE_FORTRAN=OFF
I closed CUDA and Fortran, then it worked well.

Thx, I compiled by your commands, but it gave me same error results.
tools:

• cmake version 3.29.3
• icx-cl Version 2024.0.0 Build 20231017
• Visual C++ 2022 00482-90000-00000-AA745

If I set SUITESPARSE_USE_FORTRAN=OFF, It will compile successfully. Perhaps it's about Fortran?

[mmuetzel]

IIUC, building fails for you when you are trying to use ifort as the Fortran compiler. The installer that I found for Intel oneAPI 2024.1 didn't give me an option to install ifort.
Could you please give instructions for how to install ifort on Windows?

[mmuetzel]

Found a direct download link for the Intel Fortran compilers:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/oneapi-standalone-components.html#fortran

That installed ifort:

ifort: remark #10448: Intel(R) Fortran Compiler Classic (ifort) is now deprecated and will be discontinued late 2024. Intel recommends that customers transition now to using the LLVM-based Intel(R) Fortran Compiler (ifx) for continued Windows* and Linux* support, new language support, new language features, and optimizations. Use '/Qdiag-disable:10448' to disable this message.

With it, compilation fails for me (but with a different error than what you were showing). I'm using the following commands to configure and build:

cmake -G"Ninja Multi-Config" -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icx-cl -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx-cl -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifort -DSUITESPARSE_ENABLE_PROJECTS="umfpack" --fresh ..
cmake --build . --config Release

The error is on linking cholmod.dll:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'AMD\Release\amd.lib'

And there is indeed no amd.lib (just amd.dll and amd_static.lib). It looks like that amd.dll doesn't export any symbols...

It correctly exports the symbols from amd.dll using the (modern, LLVM-based) Intel Fortran compiler ifx:

cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icx-cl -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx-cl -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=ifx -DSUITESPARSE_ENABLE_PROJECTS="umfpack" --fresh ..
cmake --build . --config Release

However, using ifx still fails a bit later on when linking the CHOLMOD demos. That seems to be caused by cholmod.dll exporting only one single symbol:

Afaict, that is because /Qoption,link,/DEF:CHOLMOD\CMakeFiles\CHOLMOD.dir\Release\exports.def is used in the LINK_FLAGS when linking cholmod.dll as a CUDA library. That should be /DEF:CHOLMOD\CMakeFiles\CHOLMOD.dir\Release\exports.def instead (without the prefix /Qoption,link,).

The same issue with amd.dll and ifort. When linking as a Fortran library with ifort, the LINK_FLAGS shouldn't contain /Qoption,link,/DEF:AMD\CMakeFiles\AMD.dir\Release\exports.def. It should be /DEF:AMD\CMakeFiles\AMD.dir\Release\exports.def instead when using the (non LLVM-based) ifort (which leads to CMake calling link.exe directly like for the CUDA library).

That looks like a CMake issue to me. There is probably nothing that SuiteSparse can do about it.

Disabling CUDA leads to cholmod.dll being linked as a C library. That can be used to work around the issue until this is fixed in CMake.
Similarly, disabling Fortran leads to amd.dll being linked as a C library. That (or using the LLVM-based ifx) can be used to work around the issue with the empty amd.dll.

I didn't find an open ticket for either issue on https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues.

I also found Fortran Source file would not be compiled to .obj file. Looks like Fortran Source file is ignored.

[mmuetzel]

I also found Fortran Source file would not be compiled to .obj file. Looks like Fortran Source file is ignored.

I cannot reproduce that. Using the "Ninja Multi-Config" generator, I find, e.g., AMD\CMakeFiles\AMD.dir\Release\Source\amd.f.obj in the build directory.

The Fortran sources are obviously not built if you configured with -DSUITESPARSE_USE_FORTRAN=OFF or if CMake doesn't detect any working Fortran compiler. In these cases, you won't find object files that would be built from Fortran sources.
