[petsc-users] Blas undefined references when build an app linking to a shared library that is linked to a static Petsc library

[Barry Smith]

  I found

http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1730 <http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1730>

but I do not understand it.

I am pretty sure PETSc is not providing in anyway even through its packages like fblaslapack blas_sgemv_x anyway I would focus on figuring out where those are coming from. Normal compilers won't need them. Do you use them? 

  Good luck

I am also able to build my own shared libraries linked to either shared or static Petsc library in both platforms. I was also able to link and execute my application to either of these shared libraries in Windows. Unfortunately, I could only get my app to link and execute with the shared library linked to the shared Petsc library in Ubuntu, but not with the static Petsc library.

Please note that I have to use --allow-multiple-definition to override the redefinition errors in lapack and blas. I also use --whole-archive to make sure the shared library has all the required information from lapack and blas.
