https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244296 --- Comment #2 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Thierry Thomas from comment #1) I think that would be a good idea, though there will always be a need to al= low different BLAS/LAPACK implementations to coexist. For instance, plink2 (https://github.com/outpaddling/freebsd-ports-wip/tree/master/plink2) curre= ntly crashes when linked with openblas but works fine with netlib. Since BLAS is not a bottleneck for this program, there's no reason not to make it availab= le using netlib (which is slow) while we try to diagnose the issue with openbl= as. While the various implementations are meant to be fully compatible, the rea= lity is that there will always be bugs and minor differences. Allowing users to work around them by using another implementation for a while will keep them happy and productive with FreeBSD. I was planning to save this for a separate conversation, but since we're on= the subject of systemic solutions, I'm preparing to commit the work of T. Orgis= on an interchangeable BLAS interface for pkgsrc: https://wip.pkgsrc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=3Dpkgsrc-wip.git;a=3Dblob;f=3Dm= k/blas.buildlink3.mk;h=3De09d41644b7d6e3eb183b03b8a40604ef632efe4;hb=3DHEAD This system allows the sysadmin to specify one or more preferred BLAS implementations in mk.conf (equiv to make.conf on FreeBSD) and also allows = the package maintainer to specify which implementations are acceptable in the package Makefile. After some extensive discussion, we ended up with a pretty elegant and flex= ible solution. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
