Because I'm having troubles to call the gotoBLAS library in a MEX file in Matlab, it crashes Matlab when I run it. I think it's because of the cygwin1.dll because calling the standard BLAS library does work.
I thought you already had GotoBLAS working ...
Its been moths since I last compiled it, and when I last did, step 4 of the HOWTO helped to produce a library that' did not dependent on cygwin dlls -- this may have changed since writing the HOWTO, I guess need to compile the latest version of the library to be sure.
In the interim, I suggest you try step 4 and see what happens (I'd like to know). You may also run dependency walker on your gotoblas dll. Dependency walker will show what dlls your gotoblas dlls depends on. Mine depends only on: KERNEL32.DLL, MSVCRT.DLL, and NTDLL.DLL only (no cywing dll :)
Suggestion: if you've done the above and and impatient/can't wait for my update, try compiling gotoblas in (MINGW) MSYS
MSYS: a "fork" of Cygwin which has absolutely no dependency on Cygwin .dll
