Both the /MT and /MD versions of the acml static libraries build, and pass all
tests, except that for me at least there's a weird glitch in the build process.
I have to purposefully add something so that config fails.
EG: In the previous site.cfg, I did not realize that I had mistyped the vector
math libraries as libsvml_disp.lib instead of svml_disp.lib. In fact you don't
even need those libraries.
Here I use the /MT version of the static libs, but add a dummy lib, "_". Config
says NOT AVAILABLE for everything, but the build and install work fine.
[blas]
blas_libs = libacml, libifcoremt, libifport, libirc, libircmt, libmmt,
svml_disp, svml_dispmt, _
library_dirs = C:\AMD\acml5.3.1\ifort64\lib\MT
include_dirs = C:\AMD\acml5.3.1\ifort64\include
[lapack]
lapack_libs = libacml, libifcoremt, libifport, libirc, libircmt, libmmt,
svml_disp, svml_dispmt, _
library_dirs = C:\AMD\acml5.3.1\ifort64\lib\MT
include_dirs = C:\AMD\acml5.3.1\ifort64\include
If I try to run the build without the dummy ("_"), then I get a traceback that
says that lapack libs with appended underscores are unresolved. I think in the
static library and the acml header file the c-wrappers remove the fortran
underscore. Also I am using the Intel fortran built libs which I think use ALL
CAPS not trailing underscores. I think this is the trailing underscore import
issue, covered in this article:
http://developer.amd.com/community/blog/2009/06/29/removing-c-wrapper-functions-from-the-amd-core-math-library-acml-to-resolve-linking-issues/
Adding the dummy lib somehow sets the NO_APPEND_FORTRAN macro.
Also it seems like the [amd] section in site.cfg does nothing.
Also it doesn't matter if I change the library names to remove the lib- prefix,
or if I rename the lib and header from acml to amd, makes no difference.
THe only reference to AMD/ACML is
http://wiki.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Windows but this site seems out of date,
and in contradiction to other building scipy site that supports MKL out of the
box.
