How to solve the issue "A required library with BLAS API not found"?

I am trying to install JDFTx by simply following the instructions on the page http://jdftx.org/CompilingBasic.html.

I have installed Cygwin from here (Windows, x64): https://cygwin.com/install.html . And I also believe that I have installed necessary libraries, listed here: http://jdftx.org/Dependencies.html .

Now, when I enter in the Cygwin64 terminal the command:

cmake ../jdftx-VERSION/jdftx

I am getting the following message:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.6.2/Modules/FindBLAS.cmake:690 (message):
  A required library with BLAS API not found.  Please specify library
  location.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-3.6.2/Modules/FindLAPACK.cmake:165 (find_package)
  CMake-Modules/FindLAPACK_ATLAS.cmake:20 (find_package)
  CMakeLists.txt:85 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/cygdrive/c/jdftx/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
See also "/cygdrive/c/jdftx/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

The solution is to use this command instead, thus explicitly specifying the location of the library:

cmake -DLAPACK_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/liblapack.dll.a ../jdftx-1.4.1/jdftx

However, now I am getting the following output, containing another error message:

Would anyone have an idea what other option should I use in the cmake call?

Thanks!

The solution is:

cmake -DLAPACK_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/liblapack.dll.a -DMPI_CXX_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib/libmpi_mpifh.dll.a ../jdftx-1.4.1/jdftx

Now I realize, this is not a solution for the second error...

The actual solution is to uninstall all related libraries and install previous versions (instead of the newest ones). After I have done it, everything works fine.
