[petsc-users] Configuring with CMake

[Satish Balay]

Perhaps the easy fix is to build PETSc as shared libraries. [this is the default anyway]

However wrt pkgconfig:

>>>>
$ cat arch-linux-c-debug/lib/pkgconfig/petsc.pc 
prefix=/home/balay/petsc/arch-linux-c-debug
exec_prefix=${prefix}
includedir=${prefix}/include
libdir=${prefix}/lib
ccompiler=mpicc
cflags_extra=-fPIC -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-stringop-overflow -fstack-protector -fvisibility=hidden -g3 -O0
cflags_dep=-MMD -MP
ldflag_rpath=-Wl,-rpath,
cxxcompiler=mpicxx
cxxflags_extra=-Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-unknown-pragmas -fstack-protector -fvisibility=hidden -g -O0  -std=gnu++17 -fPIC
fcompiler=mpif90
fflags_extra=-fPIC -Wall -ffree-line-length-0 -Wno-unused-dummy-argument -g -O0

Name: PETSc
Description: Library to solve ODEs and algebraic equations
Version: 3.16.99
Cflags:   -I${includedir} -I/home/balay/petsc/include
Libs: -L${libdir} -lpetsc
Libs.private: -L/home/balay/soft/mpich-3.4.2/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/11 -llapack -lblas -lm -lX11 -lstdc++ -ldl -lmpifort -lmpi -lgfortran -lm -lgfortran -lm -lgcc_s -lquadmath -lstdc++ -ldl
<<<<

i.e 'Libs' provides the petsc library [usable when built as shared] - and 'Libs.private' provides all the dependencies [that are required in a static build]

This seems to work on a number of platforms but it is failing to link on others. It appears that the build cannot find the LAPACK and BLAS libraries. The PETSc library I’m linking to (v3.16.3) was configured with -download-f2cblaslapack so it should have these libraries, but when I try and link one of the test applications in GridPACK I get the errors
