inteltbb.devel.win.targets file path issues

[tibi-extera]

I am using the intelmkl.static.win-x64 package witch depends on inteltbb.devel.win. When building my project I got an error that tbb12_debug.dll or tbb12.dll were not found when compiling Debug and Release respectively.

I tracked the problem to the inteltbb.devel.win.targets file. In it, there are item group definitions for the different build options and one for the compiler. All have a similar problem. I will provide an example for the X64 debug link group.

The original group was defined as:

  <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="$(Configuration.ToLower().Contains('debug')) AND '$(Platform)' == 'x64'">
    <Link>
      <AdditionalLibraryDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\..\lib\native\win-x64;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories>
      <AdditionalDependencies>tbb12_debug.lib;tbbmalloc_debug.lib;tbbmalloc_proxy_debug.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)</AdditionalDependencies>
    </Link>
  </ItemDefinitionGroup>

The problem is that the location of the libraries is not $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\..\lib\native\win-x64; but rather $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\..\..\lib\native\win-x64;. I have modified the file manually as follows:

  <ItemDefinitionGroup Condition="$(Configuration.ToLower().Contains('debug')) AND '$(Platform)' == 'x64'">
    <Link>
      <AdditionalLibraryDirectories>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\..\..\lib\native\win-x64;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)</AdditionalLibraryDirectories>
      <AdditionalDependencies>tbb12_debug.lib;tbbmalloc_debug.lib;tbbmalloc_proxy_debug.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)</AdditionalDependencies>
    </Link>
  </ItemDefinitionGroup>

While this works for the moment on my computer, this is not a portable solution. Any other developer would have to redo the same changes I did, with the potential of introducing errors. The proper way to address this is to change the package and this is what I am asking you to do.

@tibi-extera which version of oneTBB do you use ? @AlexVeprev could you please take a look ?

Hi @tibi-extera, The issue looks like duplicate of #606. It was fixed, but not released with 2021.5 (see comments in #606)

Hi @AlexVeprev,

You are right they are the same issue. In addition #606 mentions the missing lib, which I forgot to mention. Do you have a release date when the fix will be available?

@tibi-extera, unfortunately I don't. oneTBB has RC for future version available on GitHub, but final release depends on other oneAPI components. Let's keep this issue open until release with the fix is available.

Seems like the problem is solved in v2021.6.0. If any other questions are left, feel free to reopen this issue.
