How to make armadillo library communicate with local OpenBLAS at compile time

I need to have armadillo (current version 5.100.1) available as a local library in $ HOME (a clustered application and cannot be installed on every node calculation, but $ HOME is a shared folder). I use cmake to control the application and can get cmake to link to local libraries in $ HOME (like boost) and not elsewhere. Armadillo needs BLAS and LAPACK, although it can use (and actually advises as such) OpenBLAS for both. However, I do not understand how to get armadillo to use OpenBLAS, even when its own cmake.configure confirms that it found OpenBLAS. Here is the result of the work. / configure in the pristine armadillo folder:

*  For Linux-based systems the automatic installer can figure out that
OpenBLAS, MKL, ACML or ATLAS are installed, and will use them instead of
the standard LAPACK and BLAS libraries. See README.txt within the Armadillo
archive for more information.
