# static-intel

Causes Intel-provided libraries to be linked in statically.

## Syntax

Linux: | -static-intel

macOS: | -static-intel

Windows: | None

## Arguments

None

## Default

ON | Intel® libraries are linked in statically, with the exception of Intel's coarray runtime support library and Intel's OpenMP* runtime support library, which are linked in dynamically. To link the OpenMP* runtime support library statically, specify option -qopenmp-link=static.

## Description

This option causes Intel-provided libraries to be linked in statically with certain exceptions (see the Default above). It is the opposite of -shared-intel.

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

If you specify option -static-intel while option -mcmodel=medium or -mcmodel=large is set, an error will be displayed.

If you specify option -static-intel and any of the Intel-provided libraries have no static version, a diagnostic will be displayed.

### Note

This option only applies to host compilation. When offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation. Offloading can only be enabled when using ifx.
