Otherwise you end up with a - broken/incomplete LAPACK library! - -2) This SlackBuild conflicts with the lapack.SlackBuild which is meant mainly - for compilation against the reference BLAS. You may install LAPACK by - this SlackBuild in parallel with the LAPACK built against the reference BLAS - if you use the SYS_DESTDIR and DEFAULT_DOCS variables (see below), but then - you are on your own, especially when compiling other software against LAPACK - and BLAS/ATLAS. - -3) There are a few extra variables which you may want or need to give - appropriate values when calling the lapack-atlas.SlackBuild: SYS_DESTDIR, - DEFAULT_DOCS, USE_ATLAS_PT_LIBS and TEST_LAPACK. - - SYS_DESTDIR is set by default to "/usr" and is the system destination - directory. When installing the package produced by this SlackBuild, - LAPACK's files will be written to $SYS_DESTDIR/lib (or lib64). - Documentation files are written to /usr/doc/lapack-atlas-$VERSION if not - otherwise stated (see below). - You may want to change the value of SYS_DESTDIR to avoid conflicts (see - the notes above). IMPORTANT: SYS_DESTDIR has to have an absolute - path as value. - - DEFAULT_DOCS has the default value "yes", which means that docs go - to /usr/doc/lapack-atlas-$VERSION, but you may want to let the docs to - go to $SYS_DESTDIR/doc/lapack-atlas-$VERSION. For this, just set this - variable to something like "no". - - USE_ATLAS_PT_LIBS is set by default to "yes" which means that this script - will try to build LAPACK against the threaded ATLAS libs. On a single - processor machine these are missing and you will get a WARNING which you - can ignore, since ATLAS will not create these libraries on such a machine. - On a multi processor machine the WARNING should not be there and you need to - set this variable to "no" if you want to force LAPACK to build against the - single threaded ATLAS libraries. At this point in time this is discouraged - and you are on your own if you do it, especially when compiling other - software which depends on LAPACK and ATLAS. - - TEST_LAPACK is set by default to "no" which means that this script will not - try to run the LAPACK test suite. Set it to "yes" if you want the opposite. - - All these settings may be done the usual way on the command line when - calling this SlackBuild, you do not have to edit the script. |
