build ROS package with ICC or link ICC compiled file to package

Question

Hi I made a custom ros package that i'm trying to build using the intel compiler. I followed the instructions in the wiki rosbuild (6.1) but that doesn't seem to work. I'm new to cmake and makelists and ros too.

If I include the compiler code at the beginning of the file then I get a boost error otherwise it just seems to loop over and over.

I also tried running make in the package folder. I've pasted part of the errors here.

/usr/include/boost/math/policies/policy.hpp(388): error: nontype "boost::math::policies::detail::is_valid_policy::value [with T=A2]" is not a type name BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(::boost::math::policies::detail::is_valid_policy::value); ^

/usr/include/boost/math/policies/policy.hpp(388): error: expected a type specifier BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(::boost::math::policies::detail::is_valid_policy::value); ^

/usr/include/boost/math/policies/policy.hpp(388): error: invalid redeclaration of member function "boost::math::policies::policy<A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13>::static_assert(, )" (declared at line 387) BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT(::boost::math::policies::detail::is_valid_policy::value); ^

What I really need to do is use a function (foo()) that has been compiled with a an intel compiler in my ros package. If I like the .c file for that function is rosbuild_add_executable I'm rebuilding the file with gcc. If I use the enable_language function and link the .s file in rosbuild_add_executable I still get errors.

When linking the .s file I added [code] extern "C" {int foo();} [/code] to my .cpp

I got the following errors then

Building CXX object CMakeFiles/pleaseWork.dir/src/environmentSpecifics.cpp.o Building CXX object CMakeFiles/pleaseWork.dir/src/myDwa.cpp.o Building CXX object CMakeFiles/pleaseWork.dir/src/getRosParameters.cpp.o Building ASM-ATT object CMakeFiles/pleaseWork.dir/src/dwmonitorc.s.o /usr/bin/as: unrecognized option '-OS_PACKAGE_NAME="landshark_dwaICCIntegration"' make[3]: *** [CMakeFiles/pleaseWork.dir/src/dwmonitorc.s.o] Error 1

(I'm sorry its called pleaseWork .. I just needed it to work)

What is the best way to go about this. Help please.

Thanks.

So I ended up generating the .o file using icc and linking it using cmake to link it. I followed stackoverflow.com/questions/14776463/compile-and-add-object-file-from-binary-with-cmake/14873818#14873818 which totally worked. replacing add_library with rosbuild_add_library and so on.
