When installing to a directory which is not owned by the installing user, even when the user has write permission for the directory, the installation can fail with an error similar to the following: Installing libblis-0.1.4-7-sandybridge.a into /usr/local/lib/ install: cannot change permissions of ‘/usr/local/lib’: Operation not permitted Makefile:658: recipe for target '/usr/local/lib/libblis-0.1.4-7-sandybridge.a' failed make: *** [/usr/local/lib/libblis-0.1.4-7-sandybridge.a] Error 1 In the example case, the error occurred because the user attempted to install to /usr/local and /usr/local/lib is owned by root with mode 2755 which the Makefile unsuccessfully attempted to change to 0755. Given that installing to /usr/local is likely to be quite common and the ownership/permissions are the default for Debian and Debian-derived Linux distributions (perhaps others as well), this commit attempts to support that use case by using mkdir rather than install to create the directory (which is the same approach as Automake).

BLIS framework
README
---
Thank you for deciding to try out the BLIS framework!
BLIS is a portable framework for instantiating BLAS-like libraries. The
framework was designed to isolate essential kernels of computation that,
when optimized, immediately enable optimized implementations of most of
its commonly used and computationally intensive operations.
BLIS has many features. For more detailed information about the project,
please check the BLIS homepage:
http://code.google.com/p/blis/
You can keep in touch with developers and other users of the project by
joining one or more of the following mailing lists:
o blis-announce - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-announce
Used only for announcements and other important messages regarding
BLIS.
o blis-discuss - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-discuss
Please join and post to this mailing list if you have general questions
or feedback regarding BLIS. Application developers (end users) should
probably post here.
o blis-devel - http://groups.google.com/group/blis-devel
Please join and post to this mailing list if you are a BLIS developer
(i.e., you are trying to use BLIS to create libraries, you want to
write kernels for the framework, or you are trying to modify or extend
the framework itself).
Also, please read the LICENSE file for information on copying and
distributing this software.
For a step-by-step guide on configuring, compiling, and installing BLIS,
please read the INSTALL file. Also, please check the BLIS website's wiki
page for other useful how-to guides.
Thanks again for your interest in BLIS!
