Getting ATLAS 3.10.0 compiled on Windows 7 64

Question

I'm having some difficulty compiling ATLAS on Windows 7 64-bit and any help would be appreciated! I'm trying to link it to lapack-3.4.1.

The command I'm using in Cygwin is:

../ATLAS/configure -D c -DWALL --with-netlib-lapack-tarfile=../lapack-3.4.1.tgz -b 64 -Si archdef 0 -Ss ADdir ../ATLAS/WINAD

The output I get is:

make: `xconfig' is up to date.
./xconfig -d s /f/Coursework/Code/python/compile/built/../ATLAS/ -d b /f/Coursework/Code/python/compile/built  -D c -DWALL -Si lapackref 1 -b 64 -Si archdef 0 -Ss ADdir ../ATLAS/WINAD

Answer 1

• "Bad OS value" is caused by ATLAS using tmpnam function to generate temp file names (and trying to read command results from temp afterwards), which, in some MinGW implementations, returns paths to files in root directory (you can see "Access denied" and "cat: \XXXX: No such file or directory" if you add -v 2 to .../configure args).

You can try to mitigate the issue by changing ATL_tmpnam function to use tempnam to return temp files inside current directory (which you should have write access to), instead:

(the following is, of course, a dirty hack and could be made better)

• gcc: /f/Coursework/Code/python/compile/built/../ATLAS//CONFIG/src/probe_asm.c: No such file or directory gcc.exe: fatal error: no input files with perfectly valid (for Cygwin) file paths is caused by running wrong gcc: if you run which gcc, you'll see that it's not from Cygwin's /usr/bin/ but from some other place in your system (possibly added to %PATH% by MinGW). Being not "aware" of Cygwin, it considers these paths non-existent. Solution: add --cc=/usr/bin/gcc or a similar argument to .../configure.
