It is my understanding that with this optional flag OpenBLAS doesn't include LAPACK, while without this flag and by default it does include the LAPACK functions. In the latter case OpenBLAS could be used by a larger number of packages which do require LAPACK functions. https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/issues/203 Regards, Fede
