libxsmm installation on Linux

[davaci]

Dear all,
I am experiencing issues on installing libxsmm on Linux/Debian 12.

According to the link, once having typed cd /path/to/libxsmm and make STATIC=0, g++ -I/path/to/libxsmm/include hello.cpp -L/path/to/libxsmm/lib -lxsmm -lblas -o hello brings to the following message:

usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxsmm: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I checked on the bounch of files and it appears that no -lxsmm and -lblas exist.

Any suggestions?
Regards,
davaci

Does it work when not using STATIC=0? For blas you need to install the blas package from your distribution or build libxsmm with an option without BLAS fallback.

When you run ls in /path/to/libxsmm do you see the following:

ls lib/
libxsmm.env           libxsmmext.so         libxsmmf.pc         libxsmmf.so.1       libxsmmgen.so.1       libxsmmnoblas-shared.pc  libxsmmnoblas.so.1.17.0  libxsmm.so
libxsmmext.pc         libxsmmext.so.1       libxsmmf-shared.pc  libxsmmf.so.1.17.0  libxsmmgen.so.1.17.0  libxsmmnoblas.so         libxsmm.pc               libxsmm.so.1
libxsmmext-shared.pc  libxsmmext.so.1.17.0  libxsmmf.so         libxsmmgen.so       libxsmmnoblas.pc      libxsmmnoblas.so.1       libxsmm-shared.pc        libxsmm.so.1.17.0

Without STATIC=0 you should see:

ls lib/
libxsmm.a     libxsmmext.pc         libxsmmext.so.1       libxsmmf.a          libxsmmf.so         libxsmmf-static.pc  libxsmmnoblas.pc         libxsmmnoblas.so.1       libxsmm.pc         libxsmm.so.1
libxsmm.env   libxsmmext-shared.pc  libxsmmext.so.1.17.0  libxsmmf.pc         libxsmmf.so.1       libxsmmgen.a        libxsmmnoblas-shared.pc  libxsmmnoblas.so.1.17.0  libxsmm-shared.pc  libxsmm.so.1.17.0
libxsmmext.a  libxsmmext.so         libxsmmext-static.pc  libxsmmf-shared.pc  libxsmmf.so.1.17.0  libxsmmnoblas.a     libxsmmnoblas.so         libxsmmnoblas-static.pc  libxsmm.so         libxsmm-static.pc
