Blas and Lapack libraries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Different packages provide implementation of ``Blas`` and ``Lapack`` routines.
The names of the resulting static and/or shared libraries differ from package
to package. In order to make ``install()`` method indifferent to the
choice of ``Blas`` implementation, each package which provides it
sets up ``self.spec.blas_shared_lib`` and ``self.spec.blas_static_lib `` to
point to the shared and static ``Blas`` libraries, respectively. The same
applies to packages which provide ``Lapack``. Package developers are advised to
use these variables, for example ``spec['blas'].blas_shared_lib`` instead of
hard-coding ``join_path(spec['blas'].prefix.lib, 'libopenblas.so')``.
