The last column shows which environment variables are used by the
Microsoft\* Visual C++\* or Intel® C++ Compiler Classic or Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler to find these
subdirectories.
.. CAUTION::
Ensure that the relevant product directories are mentioned by the
environment variables; otherwise the compiler might not find the
required files.
.. note::
Microsoft\* C/C++ run-time libraries come in static and dynamic
forms. Either can be used with oneTBB. Linking to the oneTBB library
is always dynamic.
