Re: [Numpy-discussion] successful Windows x64 build with acml-5.3.1 ifort64 static libs passes tests

AMD acml libraries do not include the CBLAS implementation. To build CBLAS against the libacml.lib requires the Intel Fortran compiler. There is a note in the mailing list here http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2006-February/018379.html This detail should probably be added to

Both the /MT and /MD versions of the acml static libraries build, and pass all tests, except that for me at least there's a weird glitch in the build process. I have to purposefully add something so that config fails. EG: In the previous site.cfg, I did not realize that I had mistyped the vector

Michael, Thanks for your response. The Intel Math Kernel Library package with just the static and dynamic libraries for blas, lapack (similar to AMD's acml self extracting zip file) is what I think many Windows users were depending on to build Python's numerical and scientific libraries (nump
