Description

I am attempting to compile the Arrow C++ libraries for use in an HPC environment, and as such I need to use the Intel compilers to be compatible with all of my other software packages. However, when I try to compile (having set CC=icc, CXX=icpc, and CFORT=ifort), cmake throws the following error:

CMake Error at cmake_modules/SetupCxxFlags.cmake:269 (message):   
       Unknown compiler: 18.0.2.20180210 18.0.2.20180210 
Call Stack (most recent call first):   
       CMakeLists.txt:437 (include)

The interesting thing to me is that it thinks that 18.0.2.20180210 is the name of the compiler, when earlier it output:

 

-- Building using CMake version: 3.16.1 
-- The C compiler identification is Intel 18.0.2.20180210
-- The CXX compiler identification is Intel 18.0.2.20180210

 

So I don't know why it's taking the 18.0.2.20180210 portion, instead of the intel portion. Either way, it leaves me unable to build the libraries.

I can provide the whole cmake log/error file if necessary.
