[Mingw-cross-env-list] Package proposal: armadillo (Re: Packages proposal intro)

[Christian Frisson]

Hi again,

Here is armadillo. I filled in but didn't check the package update.

A library for linear algebra using blas and lapack.

The patch replaces the SHARED option to STATIC in the cmake ADD_LIBRARY 
command and reverses the order blas and lapack are added to the 
ARMA_LIBS list so that they are linked in the correct reverse order for 
static compilation (-lapack -blas).

The example is from http://arma.sourceforge.net/docs.html#eig_sym. It 
tests specifically if lapack properly links. When armadillo is compiled 
as shared library, this example crashes at runtime if lapack can't be 
properly loaded.

Best,
Christian
