Okay, so I just finished configuring WSL. The way I want to
use my app is having it read from stdin, do some calculations,
and write to stdout, in an infinite cycle. I wanted to feed
this to some higher level algorithms in Wolfram Mathematica,
that's why I needed Windows binaries. But it turns out that I
can feed the shell.exe program itself to Mathemtaica, and from
there call my compiled-in-ubuntu app and do the same thing. So
it looks like I could get away with using WSL after all.
I am new to linux, so I could use some help, and you have
clearly done this before. So far I've managed to install dmd
and OpenBlas. I guess I should pass some commands to dmd so it
knows where to look for the static blas and lapack libraries.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Arredondo.
I was using Ubuntu with WSL. For installing, I think I had done
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev
I think on Linux you can just put blas and lapack in the libs
in your dub.json. I always just try to do some simple example
first, usually just calling dmd/ldc directly. So long as I can
translate it to a dub configuration that is equivalent, then I
will switch over. You might look at some of the dub.jsons that
are used in Lubeck and other mir projects for reference.
This worked. Thank you jmh530!
I feel like at this moment, lubeck should be clearly marked "not
Windows ready", as not everybody will have the
inclination/patience to deal with incompatible object file
formats or the Windows subsystem for Linux.
I wonder if compiling OpenBlas from source using DMC would solve
this. I also wonder if the resulting binaries would be as fast.
