[Insight-developers] Linear algebra licensing and ITK 3.18 Release

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Alex,


Yes, it will be great if multiple people take
a closer look at the candidate libraries.

       OpenNL is already CMakeified.

I downloaded it yesterday, and build it.
That's how I know that it doesn't have any
test, and doesn't submit to any Dashboard.    :-)

On the bright side, it build without any problem.
(I did so in Linux with gcc 4.4).


It will be great to motivate their developers to setup
a testing suite and to submit to a Dashboard.

They are more than welcome to setup a public
dashboard at "my.cdash":

            http://my.cdash.org/index.php

That's where the lapack and clapck
Dashboards are:

http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=CLAPACK

http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=LAPACK



    Luis
