edisongustavo edited a comment on issue #14028: Cmake blas URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/14028#issuecomment-488589509 Hello all, sorry for taking so long to answer. Things have been very hectic at lately. Anyway, I've looked at the docs and the place that I see that could use an update is this part here (https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/versions/master/install/windows_setup.html#build-from-source): > 1. Download the [OpenBlas](https://sourceforge.net/projects/openblas/files/v0.2.19/OpenBLAS-v0.2.19-Win64-int32.zip/download) package. Later versions of OpenBLAS are available, but you would need to build from source. v0.2.19 is the most recent version that ships with binaries. Contributions of more recent binaries would be appreciated. > 1. Untar the file, rename it to ```OpenBLAS``` and put it under `C:\utils`. You can place the unzipped files and folders in another directory if you wish. The problem is that the version of the OpenBLAS package compiled there is using Visual Studio 2008, which is not compatible with Visual Studio 2017. I have looked at all releases at the OpenBLAS sourceforge page and didn't find any releases with binaries on it. # Problem The problem is: **"find compiled binaries of OpenBLAS (for Visual Studio 2017) available for download on the web"**. # Proposed solution 1 A solution I could think of is to use the compiled package from [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/): https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/openblas In that page, the closest version `0.2.19` that have Windows releases is `0.2.20`: `win-64/openblas-0.2.20-vc14_8.tar.bz2`. The newer versions all have Windows releases, so we could just use point to use version `0.3.6` instead. The rewritten doc would look like this: ```markdown 6. Download the [OpenBlas](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/openblas/0.2.20/download/win-64/openblas-0.2.20-vc14_8.tar.bz2) package. 7. Untar the file. There will be a directory inside named `Library`, rename it to ```OpenBLAS``` and put it under `C:\utils`. You can place the unzipped files and folders in another directory if you wish. ``` Would this be good enough @aaronmarkham ?
