Package: libomp-7-dev Version: 1:7.0.1-6 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
While testing flang-7 for OpenMP programs, I noticed that 'flang -fopenmp=libomp' doesn't know to link libomp. (clang -fopenmp=libomp has no problem.) It's easy enough to work around that by using linker option -L/usr/lib/llvm-7/lib in the case of libomp-7-dev, with some smarts in my meson.build to adjust to versions other than 7. But it would be even better if libomp-<version>-dev installed a symlink /usr/lib/<arch>/libomp.so -> ../llvm-<vers>/lib/libomp.so Then flang and other programs would find it in a standard library directory. It does install a /usr/lib/<arch>/libomp5.so symlink, but Clang doesn't accept -fopenmp=libomp5. P.S. Wondering how I'm using Meson to build programs with Flang? I hacked Meson. Let me know if you're interested. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libomp-7-dev depends on: ii libc6 2.28-7 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-20 ii libomp5-7 1:7.0.1-6 ii libstdc++6 8.2.0-20 libomp-7-dev recommends no packages.
