cc1plus: error: argument to '-O' should be a non-negative integer, 'g', 's' or 'fast' error while compiling with mkl and GNU C/C++

Question

After invoking C++ compiler the make failes with the following error.

 cc1plus: error: argument to '-O' should be a non-negative integer, 
'g', 's' or 'fast'

Here is the line from my make file I edited.

g++ -g -O-1 -std=gnu++11 -L/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/mkl/lib/intel64 -
lmkl_gnu_thread -I/home/.../include  -DDEBUG -DMKL_ILP64 -MMD -MP -
MF"simgms_init.d" -MT"simgms_init.d" -c -o "simgms_init.o" 
"../simgms_init.cpp"

I think I've got the lib file wrong. I already tried several combinations of files since I'm not sure if I need to use dynamic libs or static libs. When do we chose dynamic libraries and when do we chose static libraries?

In /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.5.192/mkl/lib/intel64 path I can see a lot of library files.

Answer 1

The error message is for for the -O-1 compile argument. -O controls the optimization level.

I don't know what optimization level you want, byt there is no level called -1. You could use -O1 or simply omit it altogether.
