GROMACS version: 2025.4 GROMACS modification: No Here post your question Hello.. I tried to install GROMACS on a intel arc a750 GPU. I followed the instructions as given in [SYCL GPU acceleration](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/training/build-gromacs-with-intel-oneapi-dpc-c-compiler.html) with command **cmake .. -DGMX\_BUILD\_OWN\_FFTW=ON -DREGRESSIONTEST\_DOWNLOAD=ON -DCMAKE\_C\_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE\_CXX\_COMPILER=icpx -DGMX\_GPU=SYCL -DGMX\_FFT\_LIBRARY=mkl.** and also given at the documentation in GROMACS website - [https://manual.gromacs.org/2024.3/install-guide/index.html#sycl-gpu-acceleration-for-intel-gpus](https://manual.gromacs.org/current/install-guide/index.html#sycl-gpu-acceleration-intel) with command **cmake .. -DCMAKE\_C\_COMPILER=icx -DCMAKE\_CXX\_COMPILER=icpx -DGMX\_GPU=SYCL -DGMX\_SYCL=DPCPP** However, every time I tried make command it shows me errors **fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=] 20 errors generated. make[2]: \*\*\* [src/gromacs/CMakeFiles/libgromacs.dir/build.make:3639: src/gromacs/CMakeFiles/libgromacs.dir/nbnxm/sycl/nbnxm\_gpu\_buffer\_ops\_internal\_sycl.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: \*\*\* [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:4434: src/gromacs/CMakeFiles/libgromacs.dir/all] Error 2 make: \*\*\* [Makefile:166: all] Error 2** Do anyone know how can I fix that? ---

Hi! Could you share the **full** log? The message you posted does not contain the errors themselves, making it hard to guess what actually goes wrong. Which OS and which version of oneAPI toolkit are you using (`icpx --version`)? Note: `-DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON` should not be necessary, since you’re anyway (correctly) using MKL, not FFTW. Not harmful, but useless. ---

Sorry! it was false positive. I renamed the folder after I had configured. Even if I run make clean and remove all the build files, I think it persisted somehow. I had to create new folder and run it again and it worked fine with no error.
