linking openBLAS

[zolo]

Hi,

I have yet again run into a compilation problem. I have downloaded the openBLAS libraries and compiled them without error. So far so good. The I would like to link it statically in a make file. This is the line which links it:

< BLAS_LIBS = -L/opt/OpenBLAS/lib -Wl, -Bstatic -lopenblas -Wl,-rpath=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -Bdynamic -lgfortran -Wl,-rpath=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu -Bdynamic -lpthread >

This ends up producing an error(on both Fedora 18 and Ubuntu):

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find : No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

libgfortran and libpthread static and dynamic libs are in the rpath. Does anybody now why rpath is ignored?

Thanks,
Z

ok I figured this out. This leads to error because of number of white spaces between -Wl, and what follows that. This one run very well:

< BLAS_LIBS = -L/opt/OpenBLAS/lib -Wl,-Bstatic -lopenblas -L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ -Wl,-Bdynamic -lgfortran -lpthread >

The solution is to have no space between -Wl, and -Bdynamic and static.
