Apologies for the new thread, I just subscribed in order to comment on this, 
and didnt know how to reply in the existing thread.


I am grateful to Xianyi for his addition of OpenBlasConfig.cmake, and I do 
recognize that this is the direction that projects should go when wanting to 
build CMake support for their users.  The issue, as cgorac points out, is that 
other projects (LAPACK in this case) use FindBLAS.cmake inside their 
FindLAPACK.cmake files.  So, in order to get FindLAPACK.cmake to work with 
OpenBLAS, it would require that the developers that maintain FindLAPACK.cmake 
change that file.  The same would have to happen for any other projects that 
use FindBLAS.cmake.


In short, CMake already has a “blessed” set of BLAS implementations (MKL, 
Intel, Goto, etc.), and it would be easier for users of LAPACK (and users of 
projects that use BLAS), if OpenBLAS were included in this set of CMake 
“blessed” BLAS implementations.  Of course, OpenBLAS would still be happy to 
provide OpenBlasConfig.cmake (I am guessing) for users of OpenBLAS directly.


Best Regards,
Rob
