Clarification on LAPACK Test Dependency in Yocto

[sunildora]

I have built LAPACK in a Yocto environment and encountered a QA issue related to runtime dependencies. Specifically, the lapack-ptest package has a runtime dependency on lapack-dev.

I want clarification on whether LAPACK test-related files inherently depend on development files.
If this behavior is expected, I can safely ignore this QA issue.

LAPACK built info:
https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/lapack/lapack_3.12.1.bb

Please let me know, If you need more details.

I appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Best regards,
Sunil Dora

I'm fairly sure the ptest package and the entire delineation of what goes into which "package" was made by Openembedded rather than Reference-LAPACK. Offhand, I cannot think of a reason why (already compiled) tests would need to depend on C headers or similar, but maybe their package layout has the shared library in the dev package and the tests dynamically linked against that ?
