A while ago there was some request for supporting the ATLAS BLAS libraries on Windows. I have finally succeeded in building the ATLAS libraries, and made the necessary changes to the Makefiles. This will be available in R-patched as from tomorrow's snapshot: see src/gnuwin32/INSTALL for how to use it. You will need to build an ATLAS library for your precise chip. This can be a frustrating experience. On my laptop (mobile PII) it took about an hour. On my desktop (dual 1GHz PIII) the first attempt failed after 2 hours and the second succeeded after four. Because of the extreme chip dependence, there is no way that we distribute ATLAS-equipped binaries. -- Brian D.
