Install Intel compilers with corresponding gcc

I tried to install intel-oneapi-compilers-classic@2021.6.0 on my laptop with gcc 12. I get the following error:

❯ spack install intel-oneapi-compilers-classic@2021.6.0
==> Error: concretization failed for the following reasons:

   1. intel-oneapi-compilers-classic: '%gcc@12:' conflicts with '@:2021.6.0'
   2. intel-oneapi-compilers-classic: '%gcc@12:' conflicts with '@:2021.6.0'
        required because conflict applies to spec @:2021.6.0 
          required because intel-oneapi-compilers-classic@2021.6.0 requested explicitly 
        required because conflict is triggered when %gcc@12: 
          required because intel-oneapi-compilers-classic@2021.6.0 requested explicitly 

which can be solved by installing gcc 11.3 and then using this did not solve the problem with spack v0.21

❯ spack install intel-oneapi-compilers-classic@2021.6.0%gcc@11.3.0

To avoid this problem, we should install the intel compilers with the corresponding gcc compiler from the same toolchain.

For the module hierarchy we should then mark the intel-onneapi-compiler-classic module as core spec so that it is visible without loading the right gcc first (there is an option in modules.yaml that should support this).

Installing the intel compiler using a corresponding gcc does not solve the problem. We decided to ignore it for now, as the HPC system is still on bullseye and find a solution after the next release.

Information from Henri: restrict to GCC <= 12.

Used at the MPCDF:

%if "%{compiler_module_name}" == "intel"
# Must be GCC 12 because of bug in LLVM
# https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/libstdc++/2023-February/055442.html
# https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58124
BuildRequires:  mpcdfmodule(gcc/12)

@jmello We should discuss the issue before you start working on it.

Hmmmm... so this was a bit unexpected.

I was double-checking to set the baseline and the compiler installed AND worked normally...

Now this IS current develop spack and it installed a different minor version of the icc package..... Time to test with current tagged release instead?

Update:

So it looks like my previous comment misunderstood the specificity of the problem. The conflict is specific and explicitly built into spack for ICC 2021.6.0 and %gcc@12 Other versions of ICC are fine so a workaround will be necessary for the ones specifically targeting this version.

This will also require changes in the mpsd-software-manager in order to take these into account. The toolchains for ICC 2021.6.0 have gcc 11.5.0 so that's likely what we want to use to compile intel-oneapi-compilers-classic

changed milestone to %25a

Installing the intel compiler based on the toolchain gcc has been implemented in mpsd-software-manager-2!6 (merged)

We will drop intel 2021.6.0 in the bookworm upgrade.
