Setting Environment Variables
The batch files ippenv.bat and ippenv64.bat in the tools/env directory sets Intel® IPP LIB, INCLUDE, and PATH environment variables for a command prompt session. In order to set the environment variables outside of a single command prompt session, please complete the following steps in Windows XP*:
- Right-click on the My Computer icon located on your desktop or from Windows Explorer.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Select the Environment Variables button.
- Use the interface to set the environment variables for only the current user (top dialog box) or for anyone who uses the system (bottom dialog box).
- Select the variable you wish to modify and click the Edit button.
- Add the path to related Intel IPP files to the existing list:
- For example, select LIB and then type in the directory for the Intel IPP stub libraries (e.g. default: C:\Program Files\Intel\IPP\X.X\ia32\stublib).
- For example, select INCLUDE and then type in the directory for the Intel IPP header files (e.g. default: C:\Program Files\Intel\IPP\X.X\ia32\include).
- For example, select PATH and then type in the directory for the Intel IPP binaries (e.g. default: C:\Program Files\Intel\IPP\X.X\ia32\bin).
Click OK in the Edit User Variable dialog box.
Click OK in the Environment Variables dialog box.
Click OK in the Systems Properties dialog box.

Including Header Files
Intel IPP functions and types are defined in several header files organized by function group and are located in the \include directory. For example, the ipps.h file contains declarations for all signal processing functions. See the column "Header files" in the above table for additional information.
The file ipp.h includes all Intel IPP header files. For forward compatibility, include only ipp.h in your program.
Choosing a Linkage Model
There are several linkage models to choose from when using Intel® IPP functions in an application:
- Dispatcher Libraries and Dynamic Linkage
- Custom Dynamic Linkage
- Static Linkage without Dispatching (Merged)
- Static Linkage with Dispatching (E-Merged)
When making this decision, some things to consider are development and target environments, installation specifications, run-time conditions, and other application requirements. For more information, please read the document Intel IPP Linkage Models - Quick Reference Guide.
