[Slackbuilds-users] Using OpenBLAS with getfem

[Erich Ritz]

Hello all,

getfem recently added superlu as a dependency, which itself needs a blas library.  I prefer to always use OpenBLAS (and superlue suggests it as well), but initially building getfem failed (it failed to find a blas library).

I was able to get the build to succeed by adding:

    --with-blas=openblas \

to the configure line in getfem.SlackBuild.  (I also verified in getfem's build log that it found and used both OpenBLAS and superlu.)

What is the best way to support using OpenBLAS with getfem?  I prefer not to carry my own patch.

Erich
