Groups 98 of 99+ julia-users › Calling Clanguage from Julia with OpenMP Windows 3 posts by 2 authors pokerho... googlemail.com Jan 19 Hi, I am trying to call Clanguage code from Julia.It works for 'regular' Clanguage code but now I have code that potentially uses OpenMP which causes trouble. I am trying to interpolate a function using a spline approximation. In short, if I type: gcc -shared -O3 nspline_omp.c -o libcspline.dll -ffast-math and then call one of the functions in the library from Julia using ccall, it works. But judging from the speed and comparison with other languages, only 1 thread is used. The code certainly supports multi-threading, for a my friend of mine on his Mac, it worked. If I type: gcc -shared -O3 nspline_omp.c -o libcspline2.dll -ffast-math -fopenmp iand try to call it from Julia, it doesn't work anymore, in particular: LoadError: error compiling spline: could not load library libcspline2.dll The specified module could not be found. Libdl.dlopen libcspline2.dll gives the same error. As an example, consider: include omp.h int banana int hello int nt; pragma omp parallel nt omp_get_num_threads ; return nt; include stdio.h int main printf d\n , banana 12 ; which perfectly works when compiled as .exe gcc helloworld.c -fopenmp . When I try to compile include stdlib.h include omp.h int banana int hello int nt; pragma omp parallel nt omp_get_num_threads ; return nt; as a shared library using gcc -shared -O3 helloworld2.c -o libcpsline3.dll -ffast-math -fopenmp and then in Julia: Libdl.dlopen libcspline3.dll LoadError: could not load library libcspline3.dll The specified module could not be found. Finally, I am new to Julia and Clanguage and basically I have not much of an idea what I am doing, so it could be an obvious mistake. Thanks for your help. Tony Kelman Jan 19 Take a look at the libcspline3.dll in Dependency Walker. You're likely missing a libgomp dll which you'll need to copy from your compiler installation and put it next to libcspline3.dll. Where did you install the gcc compiler from and are you calling it from inside an environment like cygwin or msys 2 ? pokerho... googlemail.com Jan 20 copying the libgomp.dll into my working directory worked! Thanks!
