Julia v0.5

[pevnak]

Hi,
I have tried the latest version of Julia v 0.5 rc2 with ParallelAccelerator and the test crashes.

Pkg.test("ParallelAccelerator")

Are you on the master branch of ParallelAccelerator and CompilerTools and are updated to the most recent versions? Once 0.5 is released we will tag those repos so everyone gets them by default but right now the latest tagged version won't work...you need latest master.

I was not. I thought that they are already default.
Thanks a lot, I will try it.

I'm seeing the following error building ParallelAccelerator master on 0.5.0-rc3:

Building libj2carray.dll.
bcpp not found and will not be used.
blas_test.cpp:1:19: fatal error: cblas.h: No such file or directory
 #include <cblas.h>
                   ^
compilation terminated.
ParallelAccelerator: build.jl done.

I see the same error after installing OpenBLAS, adding it to the path, and defining the openblas_lib environment variable. How should this be called out?

[DrTodd13]

This is testing if your compiler supports blas, not if openblas is present. Looks at deps/generated/config.jl and see if openblas_lib says "" after it. If it does then openblas wasn't found, else it was.
