Did you eselect a valid blas implementation? What is the result of "eselect blas list"?
Comment 5 Juergen Rose 2011-07-03 22:49:44 UTC
root@orca:/root(2)# eselect blas list
Available providers for blas:

Did confgure script use pkg-config to detect blas? Compare https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373553. There is no more 
/usr/lib/libblas.a etc with atlas-3.9.41.
Comment 6 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2011-07-08 21:42:53 UTC
Adding the guys who know more about this...
Comment 7 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-07-09 12:04:29 UTC
packages always need to use pkg-config

I am not sure how to fix that in cmake, but that could befigured out.

the reason is, that not all implementations use libblas and liblapack but other names. So if the buildsystem tries to find or link with lblas it fails. pkg-config --libs blas tells you the right one.

Dont bother, I can do that while sleeping. Just give me a few days...
Comment 9 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2011-07-13 20:03:53 UTC
Should be fixed, please test and reopen if not.
Comment 10 Juergen Rose 2011-07-14 09:31:27 UTC
It still fails for me with:
root@orca:/root(19)# emerge -uvDN opencv
...
-- A library with BLAS API found.
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindLAPACK.cmake:292 (message):
  A required library with LAPACK API not found.  Please specify library
  location.

Not fixed yet.

I've pushed an (untested) dev-util/cmake-2.8.5-r1 into the *SCI* overlay where FindBLAS.cmake is patched - it first checks for PkgConfig settings for BLAS, and if they are found, all other checks are skipped. 

Please install this cmake version and try again. If this helps, we'll move it in the main tree, submit the patch upstream and add similar patches to other cmake files (FindLAPACK comes to my mind).

Thanks, I was about to do the same. FindBlas.cmake and FindLAPACK.cmake are not really sufficient, also for HPC machines. I guess the new version of cmake will also help for bug #373559.
Comment 13 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2011-07-17 17:05:52 UTC
I have also added a copy of cmake-utils.eclass to the *SCI* overlay which removes in the default setting any occurrence of FindBLAS.cmake in ${S} (in case some package brings their own version which could override). Maybe that will help as well, please test...
Comment 14 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2011-07-18 09:33:29 UTC
Please sync your tree and update cmake to revision 2.8.5-r2. This problem should be fixed then (and opencv-2.2.0-r10 for now requires at least that cmake version).
Comment 15 Juergen Rose 2011-07-18 14:06:21 UTC
Thanks Andreas, works for me. What about an upgrade to opencv-2.3?

Working on it, soon :)

Bad approach.
Add the modified blas/lapack finder to the modules folder for the package, so you dont have to depend on named version of cmake.

And for second the patches in the current look will be unacceptable for the upstream as they need to work on platforms where the pkgconfig is not present.

Possible is also modifying the cmake file for the opencv to use the pkgconfig instead of finder eg.:
find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(BLAS REQUIRED blas>=1.2.3.4)

Using pkg-config to find blas/lapack is a bit special to gentoo, but as there are at least 5 package having problems with finding blas/lapack we should think about some global solution. 
I thought about something like adding "-DBLA_VENDOR=Generic -DBLAS_blas_LIBRARY:STRING='$(pkg-config --libs blas)'" to the cmake options.

No. 
Talked through with sci guys.
We remain with this approach, or even replace CMake's FindXXX files completely with a Gentoo version that uses only PkgConfig alone.

Yes, and I'm willing to improve that and send it upstream at some point. However the present version can tell us how well this approach works.

If upstream does not accept it, well then the replacement approach remains, is simple and should also work on all future cmake versions.

As for all the other comments I originally wanted to write here, I'll probably better wait until I catch you on IRC sometime... :)
