I am using Ubuntu 11.04. I have installed the compiler gcc 4.5 by using the command sudo apt-get install gcc 4.5 in terminal. Now I need the command to enable OpenMP. Is it gcc -fopenmp foo.c ?

@pl1nk I started from the beginning:

1st step=> sudo apt-get install build-essential

2nd step=> sudo apt-get install gcc 4.5

And now the output of gcc -v is:

**ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gcc/i686-linux-gnu/4.5.2/lto-wrapper

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4)** 

In few words the same results....
What should I do now?

Run update-alternatives --config gcc to be asked to choose the GCC version you want to use among those installed.

Then you could run gcc with the chosen version.

  • It looks like there is only one version

  • @Anita7 It seems that you have only gcc 4.5 installed. You can proceed with gcc -fopenmp foo.c as you mentioned.

GCC 4.4/5 implements OpenMP version 3.0.

GCC 4.7/8 supports the OpenMP 3.1 specification.

GCC 4.9 supports OpenMP 4.0. Ubuntu 13.10, however, uses GCC 4.8 by default.

For more information, see OpenMP in the GCC wiki.

According to the gcc man page, gcc -fopenmp foo.c is indeed the correct syntax.

The man page also states:

-fopenmp

Enable handling of OpenMP directives "#pragma omp" in C/C ++ and "!$omp" in Fortran. When -fopenmp is specified, the compiler generates parallel code according to the OpenMP Application Program Interface v3.0 http://www.openmp.org/. This option implies -pthread, and thus is only supported on targets that have support for -pthread.
