Description

The latest LAPACK code in commit fe843f9 fails to compile with CMake 3.10 because object files are linked against a library. This features was only added in CMake 3.12 (cf. CMake: target_link_libraries -- Linking Object Libraries).

Example:

$ cmake ~/lapack
[snip]
CMake Error at SRC/CMakeLists.txt:530 (target_link_libraries):
  Object library target "lapack_obj" may not link to anything.

$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.10.2

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

Other problems breaking CMake 3.9 compatibility:

• The use of the Fortran_PREPROCESS property added in CMake 3.15

Possible fixes:

• Bump the minimum CMake version to 3.12 3.15
• Do not link object file libraries
