  • For GPU we need to build CoreNEURON statically. Those libraries
    needs to be linked to special directly (dlopen is not supported)
  • CoreNEURON now prepares necessary link library flag for NEURON
  • If user specify -coreneuron as an argument to nrnivmodl then
    necessary coreneuron libraries are linked to special directly.

Corresponding to BlueBrain/CoreNeuron#373
