Finding OpenBLAS on Windows with CMake
To find OpenBLAS library on Windows using CMake, you can use the find_package
command provided by CMake along with the BLAS
component. Here are the steps:
Make sure you have OpenBLAS installed on your Windows system. You can download and install OpenBLAS from the official website or use a package manager like Chocolatey.
In your CMakeLists.txt file, use the
find_package
command to locate the OpenBLAS library:cmakefind_package(OpenBLAS REQUIRED)
After locating OpenBLAS, you can use the
OpenBLAS::OpenBLAS
target in your CMake target:cmakeadd_executable(myapp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myapp PRIVATE OpenBLAS::OpenBLAS)
Configure and generate your build files using CMake as usual.
CMake will search for OpenBLAS on your system, and if found, it will provide the necessary variables and targets for linking against OpenBLAS. If OpenBLAS is not found, you may need to provide additional hints to CMake, such as the installation directory or library path, using CMake variables like OpenBLAS_ROOT
, OpenBLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS
, or OpenBLAS_LIBRARIES
.
Remember to adjust the CMake configuration based on your specific setup and file locations.
