[petsc-dev] Need help compiling on Windows (Cygwin)

[Olumide]

Hi -

I'm having difficulty compiling on Windows (Cygwin). I've installed 
MPICH2, but I keep getting the following error (extract from 
configure.log). I've also tried specifying the directory in which MPI is 
installed, but that didn't work either.

BTW, I do not have ifort on my machine (can't afford it :( ).

Thanks,

- Olumide

          UNABLE to CONFIGURE with GIVEN OPTIONS    (see configure.log 
for details):

Error running configure on MPICH.
    On Microsoft Windows systems, please obtain and install the binary 
distribution from
      http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich/mpich-nt
    then rerun configure.
    If you choose to install MPICH to a location other than the default, 
use
      --with-mpi-dir=<directory>
    to specify the location of the installation when you rerun configure.
