Building Applications that Depend on the Essential Math Module

On Windows, you have the choice of using the Netlib CLAPACK library or the MKL BLA library.

If you built the Essential Math Module library using this library, the CLAPACK libraries must be specified on the link line when building your applications.

• On 32-bit platforms for either static or dynamic builds, the libraries are located in <sourcepro-installdir>\3rdparty\clapack-<ver>\windows\ia32-<compiler>\lib.

• On 64-bit platforms for either static or dynamic builds, the libraries are located in <sourcepro-installdir>\3rdparty\clapack-<ver>\windows\em64t-<compiler>\lib.

• In either case, the libraries that must be linked are: lapack.lib, blas.lib, and f2c.lib (release builds) and lapackd.lib, blasd.lib, and f2cd.lib (debug builds).

When specifying the location of the BLAS/LAPACK library, provide the path up to, but not including, the lib and include directories. For example, use D:\mkl instead of D:\mkl\include or D:\mkl\lib.

The libraries you need are: mkl_intel_c_dll.lib and mkl_sequential_dll.lib

NOTE >> Excluding Solaris and Linux, you must use the NetLib CLAPACK library on UNIX platforms.

For CLAPACK, when you build your applications, you must link in the NetLib CLAPACK libraries located at <sourcepro-installdir>/3rdparty/clapack-<ver>/<platform>/<architecture>/lib. The required libraries are lapack.a blas.a f2c.a.

You have the choice of using the NetLib CLAPACK library (see above for link requirements) or the MKL BLA library on a Linux platform.

If you built the Essential Math Module library using the MKL library, the MKL libraries must be specified on the link line when building your applications. When specifying the location of the BLAS/LAPACK library, be sure to provide the path up to, but not including, the lib and include directories.

For example, use /usr/local/mkl instead of /usr/local/mkl/lib or /usr/local/mkl/include.

For 32-bit, the libraries you need are: mkl_intel, mkl_sequential, and mkl_core.

For 64-bit, the libraries you need are: mkl_intel_lp64, mkl_sequential, and mkl_core.

At runtime, the shared library dispatcher loads the appropriate .so files for the processor dynamic kernel.

You have the choice of using the NetLib CLAPACK library (see above for link requirements) or the Sun Performance Library (SPL) on a Solaris or Linux platform when using the Oracle Developer Studio compiler. It is not available for the gcc compiler.

When building applications that depend on the Essential Math Module built with SPL, you do not need to provide the names of the libraries, but you do need to add the following flag to the end of your compile and link lines:
