Atlas and Windows

[hoel@germanlloyd.org (Berthold Höllmann)]

Hello,

I tried again to use Atlas under Win32. I need some Lapack routines
and they again need of course BLAS. So I downloaded
atlas321_WinNT_PII.zip from netlib, unpacked it and renamed the
library files:

    libatlas.a    -->  atlas.lib
    libcblas.a    -->  cblas.lib
    libf77blas.a  -->  f77blas.lib
    liblapack.a   -->  lapack.lib

then I unpacked lapack-pc.zip also from netlib. I changed make.inc to


HOME = c:\hoel\install_progs\lapack-pc
PLAT = _win32_cref
FORTRAN  = df
OPTS     = -optimize:2 -iface:cref  -I"c:/Programme/Microsoft Visual Studio/DF98/INCLUDE" /nologo
DRVOPTS  = $(OPTS)
NOOPT    = -optimize:0 -iface:cref /nologo
LOADER   = link
LOADOPTS = /libpath:"c:\hoel\WinNT_PII"  /libpath:"c:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio\DF98\LIB"
ARCH     = lib
ARCHFLAGS= -out:
RANLIB   = echo
BLASLIB     = f77blas.lib atlas.lib
LAPACKLIB    = lapack$(PLAT).lib
TMGLIB       = tmglib$(PLAT).lib
EIGSRCLIB    = eigsrc$(PLAT).lib
LINSRCLIB    = linsrc$(PLAT).lib


and ran

 nmake

. This worked after some minor changes in the
makefiles. But when I tried

 nmake testing

I got

 Routines pass computational tests if test ratio is less than   20.00

 
 SHS routines passed the tests of the error exits ( 66 tests done)

Tests do work when I use the reference BLAS. Is there anyone on this
list who successfully uses ATLAS/Lapack under WinNT? What other
compiler switches do I need to make this combination work.

Thanks
