Bug#764372: About pkg-config for BLAS/LAPACK
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi Sebastian On 10/10/2014 20:18, Sébastien Villemot wrote: Hi Alastair, I saw your reports about adding pkg-config support for BLAS and LAPACK implementations (#764372 and #764491). I am basically in agreement with this change, but I don't have the time to take care of it before the jessie freeze. So, if you want to have this change in Jessie, feel free to do a Team Upload (or a DELAY/0 NMU if you're not in the Debian Science Team). However, if you do that, please also make similar changes at the same time to atlas (adding both a blas-atlas.pc and lapack-atlas.pc) and to lapack (adding a lapack-netlib.pc). Thanks, I will do so when I've added a lapack patch. Also, I don't think that cblas.pc is the right name for the blas package pkg-config file (cblas is a C interface to the Fortran 77 BLAS routines). I would rather call that file blas-netlib.pc. I agree, blas-netlib.pc is better and more consistent. For the openblas case, I don't think it makes much sense to set libdir to /usr/lib/openblas (though it does not harm), since actually the symlink /usr/lib/libblas.a will point to the right place. It is possible that openblas is installed and the symlink is manually set for netlib, for example. In this case using pkg-config blas-openblas would give the wrong results. Finally, I don't understand why you say that your .pc file for OpenBLAS enables linking to OpenBLAS both generically and explicitly. Actually, it only enables generic linking to a BLAS alternative. The specific linking to OpenBLAS is provided by /usr/lib/libopenblas.so.0 (which has a different SONAME). Ah, I didn't realise that /usr/lib/openblas/libblas.so provided the libblas.so SONAME. Thanks, I withdraw that statement. regards Alastair - -- Alastair McKinstry, alast...@sceal.ie, mckins...@debian.org, https://diaspora.sceal.ie/u/amckinstry A decent provision for the poor is the true test of civilization. ~Samuel Johnson, Boswell: Life of Johnson -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUPO6QAAoJEN9LdrZRJ3QsB5IP/1mxviBqjwUl2b407dCuZBQP 3ebFZ8YeFxLiBdEHdoY0P48wpXPbFccxnsWlBSoJg/61FAPDFaVtUeU8l5paZW4V /RowpQ2BMLCgW/yZaVpPDhwC60rgvR1tbYkgIauUcYDPrhLQvDEeuMEgf+rC81hI QIrI0jq8JScbjNXLJMaoDa29uJO61M564j0rWaoyeuuGXEQ76vXKaKi5tiYdIaij 3KCmL4lHLuXSeshdWyUQQeth9ahz/PERNn4JkI3Q9YaaP1hTdDoR19vn4GxckDTl EmmVrM1EzJaFjWgmU/0CuAR36kqqFVsGYjOZzvEPplnLWn87zl3gywIMGW7nWPU1 svIGFBAwNZpBJk7dhv5slADhmLRBXnQQvzqxkPiGfW/um2XcrGU7XxKn4nGPPJiG KPWtTv9zdZpEtHsqsYKnogia2ljXzkHdcBKfS0HfYxCbiDsn2nzNcg+G4KZ4g573 l4PTzMK0a9TPjwwUqQ0mFwmljzXLs71mMvdKoHvQchENNr4sRbrMSEiW4mYeVR2K aBnkS4iD+dONJX56T/kwcxJbEPqDEJgVv+MnJZxIv4JBu82GcCC/QUpPzrRAWIiP uwkJuvhZFzjqLOKrKW/+NKB6wwRLxIuZa9reAGlZPJFpkRkCGpBdRSOiO8r5nS3x 9EwRHueW99+qUjpKXwNj =6BgK -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Alastair, I saw your reports about adding pkg-config support for BLAS and LAPACK implementations (#764372 and #764491).
