We may want a basic FindMKL.cmake and inside have the possibility decide which component to integrate to our library whether it's BLAS, LAPACK or else :)
Cause for my microbenchmark, this cmake script was a bit too complex ^^

I tried using FindMKL.cmake with a clang compiler shipped within the default PrgEnv-cray on PizDaint (mc partition) and it couldn't find MKL. When using the gcc compiler from PrgEnv-gnu, it works without problems.

Do you have any idea why this happens?

Do you have any CMake scripts, either ready for production or not, that you would like to share?

Please comment on this issue with their name!

In this repository, we are going to provide CMake stuff that, obviously, makes use of CMake functionalities.

CMake adds new functionalities, but also change existing ones, in the form and/or in the behavior.

I think it is unreasonable to address all CMake versions and we may address at most just newer ones, where "modern CMake" started (3.12?). But, even just in the last versions, there are differences.

The big questions are:

• What are the requirements that we want to impose to use this repository?
• How do we want to manage this requirements, now and in the future?

Include

Whenever I borrow code that might be updated externally from another project, I commit the code to my own project and include the git SHA of the commit it was taken from in the external project, so that it is easy to do a diff of changes relative to the version of the file I've got (either my changes or theirs). (quote from @biddisco)

What do you think about having a document which is relating the cmake bugs we found or interesting behaviours we've seen according to versions of cmake ?
