In fact disregard my comment about #14605. We should fix the issue here quickly, hopefully before 5.10 official release if it's not too late. Although as it does not seem to prevent anything from working except for IML testsuite, 5.11 should be ok as well.

A side-effect of this ticket is probably that numpy gets built without ATLAS acceleration.
comment:10 Changed 8 years ago by
For the record, I did get
ATLAS_CFLAGS='' ATLAS_LIBS='-lcblas -latlas'
-L${SAGE_LOCAL}/lib
"incidentally" came from / for GMP, although after -lcblas -latlas
, but we meanwhile add ${SAGE_LOCAL}/lib
to LIBRARY_PATH
(in sage-env
), so that it worked.

You'd still need a line
cmd += ' --incdir=' + os.path.join(conf['SAGE_LOCAL'],'include')
in configure_atlas_library()
for the header files to go the correct place?
And currently numpy is built without Atlas (it uses another blas): local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/_dotblas.so normally contains ATL_* symbols (for an old Atlas 3.8.3 version, at least).

I don't think so. We use prefix and that should be enough from what I've seen in ATLAS configure script.

On my gcc110 install (where IML testsuite fails), numpy uses ATLAS correctly. There is no ATLAS symbols in the file you pointed because we now use a shared version of ATLAS. But if I run ldd on the file it points to the ATLAS libs.
And I seem to remember we had lots of troubles correctly biulding numpy and scipy with the new ATLAS so hopefully it was actually used.

The $HOSTNAME

comment:23 Changed 8 years ago by
On boxen, after installing the new ATLAS spkg, the current iml spkg installs and passes its tests. Same for an iml spkg which doesn't copy over the patched version of configure
.
comment:24 Changed 8 years ago by
P.S.: I guess the odd "patch" to IML's configure
dates back to the times when ATLAS was somehow optional, or at least did not get properly detected on all systems. Running / building IML's test suite on such systems was always broken then.
(In other parts of Sage using IML, BLAS libraries get explicitly added by us when linking.)

Do not install static libraries, its a feature that we don't.
Also, nobody in his right mind expects blas headers. This is why the iml testsuite, which the authors probably didn't expect to be distributed, is the only place that trips over it. For starters, there is no universal naming standard (blas.h vs. cblas.h vs. foo_cblas.h vs. foo/cblas.h). There are multiple blas implementations and if you all install them at the same place then they would overwrite each other.
comment:27 Changed 8 years ago by
And if you need a reason for not installing static libraries you just have to look at this ticket where you got confused about whether something links against atlas or not. Shared libraries are the only way that make it clear which particular atlas version you are linking against and that you didn't accidentally pick up some system atlas.
comment:28 Changed 8 years ago by
I disagree that nobody expects the blas headers. If I try to install a package on top of Sage, e.g. the Shogun machine learning toolbox, then it will only compile in certain features if it can find a blas - and for that it needs blas headers. With older sage versions this works just fine.
comment:29 Changed 8 years ago by
Shogun just makes it unnecessarily complicated for themselves, you need to define preprocessor constants to tell it which blas header to look for...
I agree that we should have blas/cblas/f77blas headers since its the right thing to do. But when we fix the IML testsuite we shouldn't introduce that as a dependency, because very often the headers are either not installed or installed with a funky name.

Do you also object to discarding the *.o

switch, but they don't.

Having static libraries rather than nothing on systems where building shared ones is problematic might be nice... Also note it's the only option upstream really supports.

Well, if we used ATLAS' install rather than further hacking, we'd get both the headers and the static libraries.
I don't see any reason why discarding static libraries should be done by default; if someone feels they're dangerous to him/her, we could add some option to automatically remove them, although that's IMHO a pretty unimportant feature.

This doesn't at all work with SAGE_ATLAS_LIB
[unless the headers happen to be installed system-wide, which is the same situation as before], since headers don't get copied / symlinked.
What happens on MacOS X (where Sage's ATLAS by default doesn't get built)?
(Similar for Cygwin perhaps.)
Replying to jpflori:

So I'm not sure if it's really that easy.
comment:53 Changed 8 years ago by
Yeah, I was just looking into that... Not really anything useful to do when a system-wide ATLAS is used.
Does really no software linking to ATLAS expect to find headers in some standard or provided place? Do they all provide their own BLAS headers and expect everything to be fine?
comment:54 Changed 8 years ago by
Its pretty much common practice to use your own blas/lapack headers. For example, linbox/fflas: http://linalg.org/projects/fflas-ffpack/browser/fflas-ffpack/config-blas.h Definitely weird, but then its probably the most stable API ever. And the lack of uniform naming of the header across vendors doesn't help.

Not really wonderful as the src directory still includes a modified upstream source, but maybe a little bit better looking. Not tested yet, I'm doing it right now.

The use of "$SAGE_LOCAL"/lib/libatlas.so.*.*

What does that achieve exactly? Just looking at the patch, I cannot really guess. Does it force upgrading the sage-env script?
A question for Volker: How does the SO_VERSION variable in the ATLAS autotools project be updated?
comment:68 Changed 8 years ago by
I'll copy the comments from sage-env
:
# Don't execute the commands more than once for the same version of # sage-env. Check this after checking the validity of SAGE_ROOT, but # before modifying its value. # # The idea of versioning is that SAGE_ENV_SOURCED will be set to a # "version number" of sage-env. If a different version of sage-env was # sourced earlier (when upgrading), we still source the new version. # The sage-env version should be increased whenever a newer sage-env is # required for upgrading. Note that spkg/standard/deps might also need # to be changed: the packages which need the new sage-env must depend on # SAGE_ROOT_REPO (the root repo contains sage-env). # # sage-env version history: # - sage-4.7.1: version 1 (#10469) # - sage-5.4: version 2 (#13395) # SAGE_ENV_VERSION=2 if [ "$SAGE_ENV_SOURCED" = "$SAGE_ENV_VERSION" ]; then # Already sourced, nothing to do. return 0 fi export SAGE_ENV_SOURCED=$SAGE_ENV_VERSION

Keeping "merged in" information for future reference, we should not change this ticket further.
Surely an ATLAS problem, see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10508#comment:526 for a solution.
I suggest we call at least install_inc and potentially install_lib from ATLAS build system to install headers and static libs.
