The names of the resulting static and/or shared libraries differ from package -to package. In order to make the ``install()`` method indifferent to the +to package. In order to make the ``install()`` method independent of the choice of ``Blas`` implementation, each package which provides it -sets up ``self.spec.blas_shared_lib`` and ``self.spec.blas_static_lib`` to -point to the shared and static ``Blas`` libraries, respectively. The same -applies to packages which provide ``Lapack``. Package developers are advised to -use these variables, for example ``spec['blas'].blas_shared_lib`` instead of +sets up ``self.spec.blas_libs`` to point to the correct ``Blas`` libraries. +The same applies to packages which provide ``Lapack``. Package developers are advised to +use these variables, for example ``spec['blas'].blas_libs.joined()`` instead of hard-coding ``join_path(spec['blas'].prefix.lib, 'libopenblas.so')``. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
