In order to build an Intel® IPP application for an Intel® Itanium®-based system, you can generate a 64-bit application from either a 32-bit or 64-bit host system.

1. Install the Microsoft* Platform SDK on both your host development machine and your target Intel Itanium-based system.

2. In order to generate compile-time optimizations for Itanium target systems, you also need to install Intel® C++ Compiler for Itanium-based systems on your host development system.

For installation instructions and system requirements, please refer to Microsoft Platform SDK and Intel C++ Compiler for Windows* documentation for details.

The following lists the common approaches to build an Intel IPP application targeting Itanium-based system:

Option 1: 32-bit host system (compilation and link) and 64-bit target system (execution) using Microsoft Visual Studio*

By default, the Microsoft Visual C++* compiler or Intel C++ Compiler for IA-32 platforms is invoked when building a Visual Studio project. In order to specify a compiler for Itanium-based platforms, you must add the following to invoke the compiler:

1. Click Configuration from Build » Add, type Release64 or Debug64 in Configuration.

2. Highlight it from Set Active Project Configuration as your release module or debug module.

3. In Project/Settings, go to C/C++ tab, choose Preprocessor from Category, add WIN64 in Preprocessor definitions.

4. Add /machine:ia64, and remove options as /FD, /GZ and /ZI in Project Options.

5. In Link's Project Options, also remove /pdbtype:sept, thus a compiler for Itanium-based platform is invoked.

6. Modify project settings for using IPP:
   1. Go to Project » Settings » C/C++ » Preprocessor.
   2. Type the path to Intel IPP include directories in the Additional Include Directories box, by default installation, the path is located at C:\Program Files\Intel\IPP\5.x\itanium\include.
   3. Go to Project » Settings » Link » Input.
   4. Type ippxx64.lib in the Object/Library Modules box. For example, type ipps64.lib if you call signal processing functions from the dynamic libraries.
   5. Type the path to the Intel IPP stub libraries in the Additional Library Path box. For example, the default location is C:\Program Files\Intel\IPP\5.x\itanium\stublib
   
   
7. Build your application.

8. Export your .exe file to your target Itanium-based system, and please ensure the path to the Intel IPP binaries is added to the system environment.

9. Run your application.

Option 2: 64-bit system (compilation, link and execution)

On a 64-bit system, mostly you will use Makefile utility to built the project from a command line.

When editing your .mak file, choose the appropriate compiler: cl.exe (Microsoft C++ Compiler) or ecl.exe (Intel C++ Compiler) for the value of CPP, and choose the appropriate linker: link.exe (Microsoft C++ Compiler) or xilink.exe (Intel C++ Compiler) for the value of LINK32.

Please refer Microsoft documentation for more details on the makefile utility.
