Describe the problem

Hi, I got this error while building TensorFlow from source using master branch/v2.4.1 branch from latest version of MacOS Big Sur (11+):

Big Sur 11.3 with XCode 12.5 has exactly same issues that do not seem to be addressed yet.

yarrseni on May 16, 2021

Any update on this thread please? I am on Macbook pro 2017, Big Sur Version 11.4. Do I need to install oneDNN via Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit (https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit/download.html?operatingsystem=mac&distributions=webdownload&options=offline)? I thought this is already supported.

What do you want? MKL/oneAPI or mkl_dnn/oneDNN only? The former, yes, you have to download it. And I don’t think it’s well-tested and supported. The latter, something like bazel build --config opt //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package should download necessary mkldnn source code for you.
