# shared-intel

Causes Intel-provided libraries to be linked in dynamically.

## Syntax

Linux: | -shared-intel

macOS: | -shared-intel

Windows: | None

## Arguments

None

## Default

OFF | Intel® libraries are linked in statically, with the exception of Intel's OpenMP* runtime support library, which is linked in dynamically unless you specify option -qopenmp-link=static.

## Description

This option causes Intel-provided libraries to be linked in dynamically. It is the opposite of -static-intel.

This option is processed by the icc or icpc command that initiates linking, adding library names explicitly to the link command.

If you specify option -mcmodel=medium or -mcmodel=large, it sets option -shared-intel.

### Note

On macOS* systems, when you set "Intel Runtime Libraries" to "Dynamic", you must also set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable within Xcode* or an error will be displayed.

## IDE Equivalent

Visual Studio: None

Eclipse: None

Xcode: Runtime > Intel Runtime Libraries
