Need help adding a new solver to the petsc library

[Xavier Lacoste]

Hello,

I want to add the solver PaStiX 
(https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/pastix/) to the PETSc library.
I Check-outed the last hg version of PETSc and started adding my 
PaStiX.py script, based on MUMPS one, in petsc-dev/config/PETSc/packages/ .
I modified first Scotch.py wich wasn't updated because PaStiX needs Scotch.

My problem is that I couldn't succed in configuring PETSCc with 
"--with-pastix=1 etc." because i don't know how to say PETSc that PaStiX 
needs the "-L/Scotch/dir -lscotch etc."

I have the setupDependencies :


  def setupDependencies(self, framework):
    PETSc.package.Package.setupDependencies(self, framework)
    self.mpi        = framework.require('config.packages.MPI',self)
    self.blasLapack = framework.require('config.packages.BlasLapack',self)
    self.scotch     = framework.require('PETSc.packages.Scotch',self)
    self.deps       = [self.mpi,self.blasLapack,self.scotch]
    return
 

But it didn't helped, the -L/scotchdir/lib is still missing...

Hope i'm on the good Mailing list for this kind of questions.
