moztools (wintools) compiled with ICL7.1

[aebrahim]

Intel C++ Compiler 8.0 is out. I believe that its possible to actually compile Mozilla/Firebird with it. Should be faster than the optimised MSVC .NET 2003 builds.

goodie, someone grab that intel 8.0 compiler and give it a good testing

[aebrahim]

I think some source modifications are needed to get it to compile on Intel C++ Compiler 8.0, though. It's usually US$399, though students can get it for around $30.

think ill wait till someones actually tried it and seen the difference before i bother

Under linux, it isn't possible to get ICC to compile Firebird. I tried several times as well as other people on the gentoo forums. It might work in windows though.

See <a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81087">bug 81087</a> to compile Mozilla on Linux with ICC 8.

Only for the windows version:

if you want to build libidl have a look at

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment. ... ction=view

this is a patch to build libidl

icl 7.1 build is not completely possible.

for a build with icl 7.1 as _CC_SUITE=6 you don't need new compiled glib, pthread ord libidl.

build fails in content/xul/templates/src. you have to build this folder with msvc-cl the rest with icl.


icl 8 compiles well.

for a build with icl8 under VS .Net 2003 you need new compiled glib, pthread ord libidl.

VS .Net-build is as fast as icl 8 build.
i have tested many options in icl but there are no significant improvements (not to say none) to msvc-cl

For nsprpub cl is hardcoded. if you want to use icl under .net 2k3 you can't build with:

make -f client.mk build

you have to do this:

sh configure

edit autoconf.mk in nsprpub\config
change cl to icl
change lib to xilib
change link to xilink
save

make

nsprpub is build with icl
