MKL isn't built on Windows

[aminya]

CI on my V0.1 branch: https://travis-ci.com/aminya/MKL.jl/builds/142809478 https://ci.appveyor.com/project/andreasnoack/mkl-jl/builds/29837534

Travis on my patch-3 branch (before REPL-Startup fix) https://travis-ci.com/aminya/MKL.jl/builds/142824221

This shows that the problem is something external like PackageCompiler because I didn't have any issue building patch-3 at that time.

Local build spoiler:

A possible solution is posted here: https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/21864960/

The problem here is the name decoration. MS doesn't extend the public 
symbols in objects by underscores, mingw-w64 does this by default. But you 
can recompile mingw-w64 crt and your app by using option 
-fno-leading-underscores. This should work.
The other solution would be, name the exported method call_me in VS 
_call_me, and reference in gcc just without the leading underscore.

I think the problem is that I have my own mingw compiler on the environment path.

Edit: Removing my own mingw from path didn't solve the issue

[Crown421]

Currently also dealing with this and I think the problem is more complicated. I have tried pinning PackageCompiler to 0.6.4 and 0.6.3 and it still fails. I have further tried different commits of MKL, specifically

• 3f25b7b28ef
• https://github.com/JuliaComputing/MKL.jl/commit/9192707e48745dc7d58633173802102e7a6593b4

with the pinned version of PackageCompiler, so the problem does not appear to lie their combination.

Further, as you can see in this CI run, MKL builds successfully on Julia 1.0, but then throws a different error when actually using it with VML.

Run julia-actions/julia-buildpkg@latest
julia --color=yes --project -e "using Pkg; if VERSION >= v\"1.1.0-rc1\"; Pkg.build(verbose=true); else Pkg.build(); end"
Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll.
##[error]The process 'julia' failed with exit code 2
##[error]Node run failed with exit code 1

On Julia 1.3 the build itself fails as above.

[Crown421]

Further, building MKL already failed on nightly Julia at the end of November, as seen here.

The last PackageCompiler update was Dec. 18, and it appears back then it was WinRPM that caused problems.

I tried pinning all packages to the versions in the successful Julia 1.0 run, but no luck so far.

Further, as you can see in this CI run, MKL builds successfully on Julia 1.0, but then throws a different error when actually using it with VML.

This error was fixed on MKL by https://github.com/JuliaComputing/MKL.jl/commit/a316332e3abebbab76a2184952373780b2b35073. See this successful CI for it: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/andreasnoack/mkl-jl/builds/28053628/job/su5qa4uk4mb5nb3k

[IanButterworth]

Given FFTW.jl now depends on MKL_jll (which includes IntelOpenMP_jll), it seems worth it to try a PR that simplifies the build to just depending on MKL_jll.

The caveat is that jll's require julia 1.3.

Or you could just use the binaries that have been wrapped: https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/MKL_jll.jl https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/IntelOpenMP_jll.jl

[KristofferC]

The problem is that you want Julia's own methods (like matrix multiplication) to call into MKL which with the current code structure requires a sysimage rebuild.

[aminya]

The problem is that you want Julia's own methods (like matrix multiplication) to call into MKL which with the current code structure requires a sysimage rebuild.

This is the default MKL.jl repository.

[KristofferC]

Yes... Sorry I didn't understand the point you were making. Could you elaborate?

[aminya]

Yes... Sorry I didn't understand the point you were making. Could you elaborate?

We can't use MKL.jl on Windows:

julia>]add https://github.com/JuliaComputing/MKL.jl

results in the error I wrote in the OP

[KristofferC]

My reply was regarding MKL_jll and that it doesn't change the fact that the sysimage has to be rebuilt.

[Crown421]

Somewhat off-topic, but who is maintaining MKL_jll/ are packages apart from FFTW.jl using it?

[IanButterworth]

@Crown421 Like most JLL's it's being "maintained" by the #binarybuilder julia slack channel folks. I'm not sure if packages other than FFTW.jl are using it yet.

@KristofferC My bad, I though it was a MKL build problem rather than a PackageCompiler issue. Should've read the issue in more detail. Sorry for the noise

[aminya]

So should we switch to PackageCompilerX or something or we can solve this in an easier way?

@KristofferC

[KristofferC]

I don't think the error Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll would be helped by doing that change.

[jlperla]

Is moving to require Julia 1.3 so you rely on the artifacts helpful? I think it is a reasonable requirement if it would simplify the setup issues of binary locations?

[aminya]

I don't think the error Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll would be helped by doing that change.

This is not the error that i get. Please see the log I attached in OP.
