Build and test for Linux/ARM64

[odidev]

Description

For aarch64 platform, I have built LAPACK from source.

Steps

Following steps" were used for the building and installation:

# sudo apt update 
# sudo apt install make cmake wget gfortran gcc -y 
# wget http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.4.0.tgz 
# tar -xvf lapack-3.4.0.tgz 
# cd lapack-3.4.0 
# mkdir build 
# cd build 
# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/lapack .. 
# make -j$(nproc) 

Outcome

To validate that the build was successful we ran tests that were generated using make test command. All the tests ran successfully.

All this information is also added to Software Ecosystem Dashboard for Arm.

Thank you for the effort, but that version of LAPACK is about thirteen years old, I'm not sure why anyone would want to build and use it today. Building any more recent version on Linux/aarch64 should be equally straightforward, and you should find binaries included in all relevant distributions already.
