The
extra_link_args
is sadly not intrinsically usedfor many parts of the system_info code.
This commit adds the linking properties stored
when using
extra_link_args
in the openblas sectionto bypass any difficulties in the usage of OpenBLAS.
This is especially helpful when linking against external
LAPACK libraries which requires
-lgfortran
and possibly-lm
for correct linking.This PR is more general than #5855 without making
site.cfg
more complex, which I think is good.This PR supersedes #5855 and is a complement to the already merged PR #5597
#5855 will be closed to prefer this PR.
