I am trying to build hpctoolkit with intel compiler using spack with following command:-

spack install --only dependencies hpctoolkit %intel@18.0.5

It is showing error in dependencies "m4-1.4.19-bbvsx5nrssevyt2vxdxeyapq37jpjgdi"

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Please someone help me regarding this.

We never install HPCToolkit with anything other than the GNU compilers. From your file above, you should use gcc 8.3.0.

If you build HPCToolkit with GNU compilers, you can use it to measure applications built with Intel compilers. There is no need to build it with Intel compilers.

Thanks @jmellorcrummey for clarification.
