no ('NTIMER', '1') in amd config?

[Dima Pasechnik]

We wonder if this is by design that
in setup.py the amd extension is built with
 
define_macros = MACROS,

rather than with

define_macros = MACROS + [('NTIMER', '1')],

The latter would disable SuiteSparse timer, and also fix a bug
we get on older Ubuntu systems, as absence of ('NTIMER', '1') triggers
calls to clock_gettime, for which on said systems one needs to link with -lrt.
(i.e. one needs to set libraries=['rt'],), resulting in an import error.

See http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/19687 for details.

Thanks,
Dima

Hi Dima,

Thanks for pointing this out. We recently fixed this in the dev branch on Github:
