Incubator-mxnet: Could NOT find MKL (missing: MKL_INCLUDE_DIR MKL_RT_LIBRARY)

[codentropy]

hello, i want to install mxnet with python interface in win10 by vs2017.
as i run cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" in gitbash console, the MKL NOT FOUND error comes out:
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017"
-- Could NOT find MKL (missing: MKL_INCLUDE_DIR MKL_RT_LIBRARY)
-- MKL not found
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:129 (include):
include could not find load file:

mshadowUtils

...
i think i have installed Inter MKL correctly:
$ echo $MKL_INCLUDE_DIR
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017.4.210\windows\mkl\include

$ echo $MKL_RT_LIBRARY
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017.4.210\windows\mkl\lib\ia32

i tried: export MKL_FOUND=1, but the error remains. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

Hi @codentropy,

I've encountered the same error with yours. Here's one of the ways I've got it to work:

1. Open .\mxnet\build\CMakeCache.txt file.
2. Replace
   MKL_RT_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=MKL_RT_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND
   with the following line:
   MKL_RT_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_2017.4.210\windows\mkl\lib\ia32_win
