I am trying unsuccessfully to install scipy on Cygwin.
I tried running:
pip install scipy
and it complains that "openblas-devel" doesn't exist. The Cygwin installer/package manager doesn't seem to know about any package that is named such or similarly.
I can run "cygcheck" to see that I have the openblas that is there for Cygwin:
$ cygcheck -l liblapack0
/etc/profile.d/lapack0.csh
/etc/profile.d/lapack0.sh
/usr/lib/lapack/cygblas-0.dll
/usr/lib/lapack/cyglapack-0.dll
and
$ cygcheck -l libopenblas
/usr/bin/cygblas-0.dll
I found threads with similar issues and I found a hint to this issue on a mailing list by the maintainer of the package openblas for cygwin as it seems.
This makes me believe that there is maybe a way to use what I already have installed in a different way in order to get the installation done.
It does not exist.
The nearest equivalent is liblapack-devel
