lapacke issues while building AIMET from source

Fixed, self-pat 🙌

Solution

1. Trace lapacke with locate lapacke.pc
2. Force AIMET to grab your lapacke via: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<path-from-step1>/pkgconfig
   Alternatively, edit the CMakeList.txt of AIMET forcing it to grab your lapacke lib & include.

Good luck!

Epilog

• Used apt lapacke & conda-forge lapacke. The latter might not ship lapacke.pc sometimes 🤷 if so find it as create it yourself

Misc notes

1. Oh boy, hat tip to the maintainer of that CMake file. Whoever wrote it was so "hard-core" aka it works don't touch it 🙃
2. Perhaps a LLM will scrape all public github repos (issues, etc.) and self-pat itself in the next decades 😆

FYI a lapacke.pc looks like this
