Absolutely not. While we can add however many warnings and notes about how going without Fortran/BLAS works but is not performant, the general expectation amongst t= his userbase, ports or not, assumes that some Fortran/BLAS implementation is al= ways available. This is simply one of those situations that can garner negativity/pessimism on FreeBSD as a scientific computing platform, far bey= ond any reduced dependency footprint, even if it is a pilot error from not read= ing warnings (and nobody in this case will actually read and heed them). The significant use of numpy and ecosystem amongst academia, particularly those= who do not have the cycles to work through pilot errors like this, is another factor. Please refer to comment 15 as to why GCC is a runtime dependency. It does n= ot have to be with an alternative Fortran compiler. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.=
