It looks like the Intel Math Kernel Library also has a community edition. [https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mkl](https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mkl) ---

Anyone want to give me a code structure. I am no programmer, but with a template for a guide, I can list out the IPP functions as a start. Maybe then people can offer AMD alternatives. Cheers Lach ---

These libraries should work on AMD as well ---

Cool. That changes everything. Thanks ---

Probably not the best Unix, but here is how I installed IPP on the Mac for Xcode. Would have preferred a more professional answer, but to keep the forum being helpful. In _Terminal_ become a super user by typing **sudo su** then in _Terminal_ enable root user by typing **dsenableroot** Now install IPP as a root user(IPP can be downloaded from the net). Return to terminal and setup IPP by typing **. /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh -arch intel64 -platform mac** In your Projucer project XCode settings _Add the extra linker flags_ **-L$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/lib** **-lippcore** **-L$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/lib** **-lipps** **-L$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/lib** **-lippvm** (You can add extra IPP libraries if you want) In the Projucer debug and release settings add _Header search paths_ **$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/include** _Extra library search paths_ **$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/lib** Now **#include “ipp.h”;** in your project and try IPP for yourself. **additionally** If you want to run the IPP setup app(look at the get\_started doc), you with need to setup Xcode by adding the following in the _Target_ in _Build Settings_ in _Search paths_ in _Header search paths_ type **$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/include** and also in the _Target_ in _Build Settings_ in _Search paths_ in _Extra library search paths_ type **$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/lib** Now in the _Target build phase_ drag from _$(home)/opt/intel/compilers\_and\_libraries\_2017.0.102/mac/ipp/lib_ to the _Link with binary libraries_ the following **libippcore.a** **libipps.a** **libippvm.a** (you can add extra IPP libraries here) and that is it. I am transitioning to Projucer, constructing a new GUI and rebuilding my class system(months of work) and I have only tested the new IPP9 with ippsZero, but I am sure it is ok. I will test on my signal processing soon. Enjoy and I am no expert so feel free to correct any of the above(in fact could someone proof read it). I will not be offended. I installed IPP a while ago and I hope I remembered all the steps. Thanks Lach ---

This is way too complicated. Just install IPP using the installer from the DMG and add 1. These lines into the Extra Linker Flags box (important, don’t add it to “External libraries to link” box, it won’t compile and spit out error messages like crazy): 2. this line into the header search paths: 3. And this into the “Extra library search paths”: Then `#include ` the header in your code and start using it. No need to become superuser or modify anything in Xcode (at least for me)… ---

Cool thanks. That is easier looking. ---

anybody willing to share a version compatible with OSX 10.10? Unfortunately the download I got requires 10.11 or higher. [Previous page](https://forum.juce.com/t/intel-ipp-free-community-licence/16677.md?page=1)
