How do I compile a package with Lapack and Blas?
With the old build process, there was a line

CoinLibsDefined += COIN_lapack

in Makefile.location. I tried

./configure --with-lapack --with-blas

but this does not seem to work. At least, there is no mention
of Lapack or Blas in the config.log. I could not find any mention of this on the BuildTools Trac pages.

CoinUtils has not yet been set up to work with Blas and Lapack. Will be addressed in the future.

In the macros COIN_HAS_BLAS and COIN_HAS_LAPACK, there is a subtle typo in the call to AC_COIN_TRY_FLINK for the -sun- case. Misplaced '],' means that sunperf isn't added to ADDLIBS. Here's a diff (line numbers are off because of some other local changes in my coin.m4).

Corrected coin.m4 file in stable/0.5 and trunk, according to Lou's suggestion

I'm not closing ticket, since the Blas and Lapack libraries are still not properly integrated and documented.
