[Rcpp-devel] fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found

[Balamuta, James Joseph]

Greetings and Salutations,

OS X does not currently support OpenMP under the default compiler (clang). Hence, you are receiving an error as it relates to the header file not being found. For more details, see:

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#OpenMP-support<https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html%23OpenMP-support>

Support for OpenMP with clang should be arriving sometime in June after WWDC as the intel funded clang-OpenMP feature has been merged into the main clang branch. ( http://openmp.llvm.org/ , https://clang-omp.github.io/ )

If this is just for personal use, you may wish to set the ~/.R/Makevar information for R via:

https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html#OS-X-packages

VER=-4.8
CC=gcc$(VER)
CXX= g++$(VER)
CFLAGS=-mtune=native -g -O2 -Wall -pedantic -Wconversion

Sincerely,

Subject: [Rcpp-devel] fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found

Dear Rcpp development list members,

I am trying to use OpenMP with Rcpp.  The code (placed in omp_experiment.cpp file) is pretty basic:

#include <RcppArmadillo.h>
#include <omp.h>

//[[Rcpp::plugins(openmp)]]
//[[Rcpp::depends(RcppArmadillo)]]
using namespace Rcpp;

// [[Rcpp::export]]
int timesTwo(int x) {
   return x * 2;
}



Once I try to compile the file I get the error output

clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-fopenmp'
omp_experiment.cpp:2:10: fatal error: 'omp.h' file not found
#include <omp.h>
         ^
1 error generated.
make: *** [omp_experiment.o] Error 1

Error in Rcpp::sourceCpp("Documents/Business/MISO/R/Functions/Trading/Experiments/omp_experiment.cpp") :
  Error 1 occurred building shared library.

My QUESTION: How to configure OpenMP to work with Rcpp on my system?

I am working with RStudio, version 0.98.945 on Mac OS X Mavericks.

Every insight into this will be highly appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

Anguel


P.S. I've done some reading on the Internet that advised me to check whether omp.h is even available on my laptop (MacBook Pro).  I have used OS X
        locate "omp.h" command that proved that omp.h is indeed available in 4 locations:

/usr/local/Cellar/gcc/5.3.0/lib/gcc/5/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0/5.3.0/include/omp.h
/usr/local/Cellar/gcc6/6-20160124/lib/gcc/6/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0/6.0.0/include/omp.h
/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0/4.8.2/include/omp.h
/usr/local/lib/gcc/x86_64-apple-darwin13.1.0/4.9.0/include/omp.h
