Getting uppercase of a string can be done in a way that is compatible
with Bash 3.2. This creates a dependency on the `tr` utility, but I
reckon it will/can be available everywhere Bash 3.2 is.
The old version invoked a Fortran compiler to figure out the bindings
necessary to link to a Fortran function. This creates a dependency on
having a Fortran compiler, even though the project may not have any
Fortran source it needs to compile!
Also, the Fortran compiler that is installed on the system may not be
the same as was used to compile the library anyway, so we are not even
sure that this is correct!
Furthermore, FindLAPACK operates on the assumption that names in that
library is suffixed with a single underscore, so if that is not correct,
we won't find any of the functions in that library anyway!
Thus, this patch enables us to assume that appending an underscore is
the right thing to do without using the compiler. This option is off by
default, but can be activated with USE_UNDERSCORING=ON (named after the
GFortran option).
By default the configure script assumes that the source is located
relative to the script itself. By allowing this to be overridden, the
script can be shared by other projects, each passing their own location
as an extra parameter.
AGMG is now under a closed-source license, meaning that results
obtained with this solver is not freely reproducible by others.
Its use is therefore discouraged.
As of version 2.3, the DUNE AMG parts are competitive, so there
is a free and open alternative.
When checking out from source code, the paths that were used to
configure the project should be carried on to the installed binary,
so the same libraries are used without much effort.
By using RUNPATH instead of (just) RPATH, it can be overridden with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH if the user so desires.
