[petsc-users] Error when compiling petsc on windows

[Satish Balay]

If you compile an example using a makefile - you should see something like:

>>>>>>>>
sbalay at ps3 ~/petsc.clone/src/ksp/ksp/examples/tutorials
$ make ex2
/home/sbalay/petsc.clone/bin/win32fe/win32fe cl -o ex2.o -c -MT -Z7   -I/home/sbalay/petsc.clone/include -I/home/sbalay/petsc.clone/arch-mswin/include -I/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/MPICH2/include    `pwd`/ex2.c

/usr/bin/rm -f ex2.o

in the link linke.

One of them should provide __imp_GetUserNameA. [Perhaps you need to add them all to the link linke]
