Lapack recommendation

Issue #346 resolved
Thorsten Schmitz created an issue

Hi

I would like to know if you could make a recommandation for a Lapack library that works well with blaze and does not require a Fortran compiler. I would like to use it on Android, so using Fortran is quite problematic.

Regards

Thorsten

ps: Did you consider to implement Lapack functions to make basic operations available even without a Lapack backend? (like you can with BLAS)

    Hi Thorsten!

    Blaze should work with all LAPACK libraries. I unfortunately don’t have a complete overview of available libraries, but I assume that there is precompiled libraries that don’t require you to build from source. Perhaps the list of available libraries at wikipedia can help you.

    I did consider to implement LAPACK functions myself, but simply don’t have the time to implement all of these myself. I am (very) open to contributions, though 🙂

    Best regards,

    Klaus!
