[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57935] mkoctfile: unrecognized argument /path/to/libopenblas.so

[ederag]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #57935 (project octave):

Thanks for the answer.

Unusual but documented:

../configure --help | grep -i blas
  --with-blas=<lib>       use BLAS library <lib>

https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Running-Configure-and-Make.html#Running-Configure-and-Make

I would highly appreciate to see what you'd call the usual way;
that would settle it since recompiling octave is easy.

When I try without this option, I just get
> configure: error: BLAS and LAPACK libraries are required

Yet 
/usr/local/gcc-9.2.0_binutils-2.32_isl/lib64/libopenblas.so 
does exists and contain both the blas and the lapacklibs, as usual.

About motivation to provide a patch, I already have 3 pending

Not blaming anyone, mind you, being maintainer is tough,
but this list will hopefully show that there was no lack of good will.
