I built PETSc with this command line after installing latest MPICH2: ./config/configure.py --with-cc='win32fe cl --nodetect' --with-fc=0 --with-ar='win32fe lib --nodetect' PETSC_ARCH=cygwin-c-debug-mpi --with-mpi=1 --with-mpi-dir=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/MPICH2/ --download-c-blas-lapack=../f2cblaslapack.tar.gz
It compiles OK but stops after "make all test": ... Completed building libraries ========================================= Shared libraries disabled Running test examples to verify correct installation ... and I have to press Ctrl-C to quit. Have I done anything wrong?
