Well after realising that in its current state #12426/#22646/#23046 would at least let me try to build sage with the intel compiler, I just did go ahead and got myself an open source license.
On top of the above tickets I had to patch _2_ packages to finish the build. * sqlite [icc has all the pragma to pass itself for gcc 6.3.0 (the installed version of gcc) but miss some builtin of said version] * openblas [assembly problem, fixed upstream but not in a stable release] The build had a hiccup while building the documentation. Several backtraces in ecl and then it hung. But after restarting the build everything finished without trouble. doctesting results: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage -t --long src/sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_rational_field.py # 17 doctests failed sage -t --long src/sage/rings/qqbar.py # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long src/sage/symbolic/expression.pyx # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long src/sage/modular/abvar/abvar.py # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long src/sage/groups/perm_gps/cubegroup.py # 3 doctests failed sage -t --long src/sage/modular/hecke/submodule.py # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long src/sage/lfunctions/sympow.py # 13 doctests failed sage -t --long src/sage/libs/pari/tests.py # 2 doctests failed sage -t --long src/sage/libs/lcalc/lcalc_Lfunction.pyx # 1 doctest failed sage -t --long src/sage/rings/real_double.pyx # 7 doctests failed sage -t --long src/sage/tests/french_book/float_doctest.py # 1 doctest failed ——————————————————————————————————— * sympow is broken [at least 30 doctests above] not really surprising. * some problems in pari/cypari * quite a bit of numerical noise Overall surprisingly good results.
