using lapack via mingw in visual studio

[jacob11]

Hello,

I am trying to create either a dll or a lib from lapack to use in visual studio.

I created a dll with the following lines from a batch file.

gfortran -shared -o lapack.dll -Wl,-Map,lapack.map -Wl,--output-def,lapack.def -Wl,--out-implib,lapack.a BLAS/SRC/*.o SRC/*.o INSTALL/slamch.o INSTALL/dlamch.o

I link against lapack.a in a VS2008 c project. The c code makes calls to dgesv_ and dnrm2_. The debug version works. The release version generates an unhandled memory access exception. Does anybody know anything about this?

I created a static library with these lines.

ar cr lapack.lib BLAS/SRC/*.o SRC/*.o INSTALL/slamch.o INSTALL/dlamch.o
ranlib lapack.lib

I added these linker dependencies.

lapack.lib
libgfortranbegin.a
libgfortran.a
libgcc.a

I get unresolved externals. The first of which is

1>lapack.lib(iparmq.o) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _logf referenced in function _iparmq_

I assume _logf is in a mingw library. Does anyone know which one?

You should try to use the cmake build.
