There is the issue of installing the shared library at the proper
location as well IIRC?

Neither the numpy ATLAS build nor the MKL build on Windows makes use of shared libs. The latter due due licence restriction.

: Yes, they seem to be focused on HPC clusters with sometimes old rules (as no shared library). Also, they don't use a potable Makefile generator, not even autoconf, this may also play a role in Windows support.

: BLIS looks interesting. Besides threading and runtime configuration, adding support for building it as a shared library would also be required to be usable by python packages that have several extension modules that link against a BLAS implementation.

""" Can I build BLIS as a shared library?
The BLIS build system is not yet capable of outputting a shared library. Building and using shared libraries requires careful attention to various linkage and runtime details that, quite frankly, the BLIS developers would rather avoid if possible. If this feature is important to you, please speak up on the blis-devel mailing list. """
Also Windows support is still considered experimental according to the same FAQ.
