[Question] How to Install on Windows? about clblast HOT 2 CLOSED

I am not a Windows user myself, so I'm not an expert. The most important of what you've downloaded is the file in the lib folder, that contains the CLBlast library. Furthermore, since you are compiling another tool as well, you'll need the include folder as well. The bin folder just contains pre-built binaries that use CLBlast, e.g. with tuners or sample programs. You don't need those.

You'll need to place the lib and include folders in a location that is accessible by whatever needs it next, in your case whisper.cpp. I can't tell you exactly what you need to do, because that depends on how whisper.cpp is organized, and how you are compiling whisper.cpp (e.g. with MingW, cygwin, with MSVC, or with WSL). You should be able to find plenty of information about this on the internet and/or on the whisper.cpp project.

After few hours of research, it turned out I needed this package to install on Windows: https://packages.msys2.org/package/mingw-w64-x86_64-clblast?repo=mingw64

Since I am using Git Bash (from Git for Windows SDK based on MSYS2) to run make and gcc commands.

Thanks for you for your comment. I have now built whsiper.cpp with CLBlast now :)
