Specify a Base Platform Toolset

By default, when your project uses the
Intel® oneAPI
DPC++/C++
 Compiler
, the Base Platform Toolset property is set to use that compiler with the build environment. This environment includes paths, libraries, included files, etc., of the toolset specific to the version of Microsoft Visual Studio* you are using.
You can set the general project level property
Base Platform Toolset
 to use one of the non-Intel installed platform toolsets as the base.
For example, if you are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, and you selected the
Intel® oneAPI
DPC++/C++
 Compiler
 in the Platform Toolset property, then the Base Platform Toolset uses the Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 environment (
v142
). If you want to use other environments from Microsoft Visual Studio along with the
Intel® oneAPI
DPC++/C++
 Compiler
, set the
Base Platform Toolset
 property to:
  • v141
     for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
  • v142
     for Microsoft Visual Studio 2019
  • v143
     for Microsoft Visual Studio 2022
Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 is deprecated as of the Intel® oneAPI 2022.1 release, and will be removed in a future release.
This property displays all installed toolsets, not including Intel toolsets.
To set the Base Platform Toolset:
  • Using property pages:
    1. Select the project and open
      Project
      Properties
      .
    2. In the left pane, select
      Configuration Properties
      General
      .
    3. In the right pane, find
      Intel Specific
      Base Platform Toolset
      .
    4. Select a value from the pop-up menu.
  • Using the
    msbuild.exe
     command line tool, use the
    /p:PlatformToolset
     and
    /p:BasePlatformToolset
     options.
    Example: When the Platform Toolset property is already set to use the
    Intel® oneAPI
    DPC++/C++
     Compiler
    , to build a project using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 environment use the following command: 
    Msbuild.exe myproject.vcxproj /p:BasePlatformToolset=v142
    Example: To set the Platform Toolset property to use the
    Intel® oneAPI
    DPC++/C++
     Compiler
     and build a project using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 environment use the following command: 
    Msbuild.exe myproject.vcxproj /p:PlatformToolset="Intel C++ Compiler 2021" /p:BasePlatformToolset=v142
    For possible values for the
    /p:BasePlatformToolset
     property, see the properties described above.
The next time you build your project with the
Intel® oneAPI
DPC++/C++
 Compiler
, the option you selected is used to specify the build environment.
