Hello Developers
This issue is regarding with the building scipy-openblas library on windows x64. As building scipy from source requires scipy-openblas library, I was able to find the wheel file of these openblas library through pypi website. The project links provided in the pypi website does not provide any build instructions on this scipy-openblas. We planning to provide support for scipy for unsupported arch. So kindly provide the source and build instructions for scipy-openblas library.
Thanks in advance
Having the scipy-openblas library isn’t necessary, one can use a range of BLAS variants. scipy-openblas is just a convenient way for numpy and scipy to obtain a bundled version of OpenBLAS. There is already a wheel for win-x64 on PyPI. If you want to build OpenBLAS from source then follow the build from source instructions at GitHub - OpenMathLib/OpenBLAS: OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version..
Thanks for the reply, I am trying to build scipy on win arm64, while installing scipy-openblas, I getting some error, since the wheel for scipy-openblas is only available for win x64 not for arm64 win. So i am planning to build scipy-openblas for win arm64, but the github link you shared is not scipy-openblas, rather it is openblas
Could you ensure that the openblas link you shared can be used for building scipy for unsupported archs?
It’s suitable for a wide variety of archs. It’ll have already been built for win arm.

I was able to build openblas git repo you provided for win arm64, the build dir contains a lib file as output, Any idea/suggestions how to use this file for scipy building?
Thanks
Can you build the DLL instead, we mainly use dynamic linking.
